Beijing, Nov 22 (Prensa Latina) China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) on Monday established a mechanism to channel their relations in a comprehensive and strategic manner, which will also inject fresh impetus to regional development, stability and peace.

Chinese President Xi Jinping made the announcement at a virtual summit commemorating the 30th anniversary of relations between the two sides.

According to the president, this is a new milestone in the history of the relations and will lead to strengthening them through greater communication and coordination.
