8月25日，由中国—东盟中心、缅甸酒店与旅游部及澜沧江—湄公河综合执法安全合作中心共同主办的中国—东盟旅游安全论坛在缅甸仰光举行。

中国—东盟中心秘书长史忠俊大使、缅甸酒店与旅游部兼体育与青年事务部部长杰鹏诺当、缅甸仰光省首席部长梭登、澜湄综合执法安全合作中心秘书长尤小文等出席论坛。来自中国外交部、东盟十国以及东盟秘书处、东盟警察秘书处、湄公河旅游协调办公室等区域组织的上百名旅游及公共安全领域官员、专家与行业代表、东盟各国驻缅使节及近20家中国东盟媒体代表与会。

This was the first forum focusing on tourism security and safety between ASEAN and China, to explore practical solutions and institutional cooperation to build stronger security for regional tourism and prosperity. The forum also adopted the Initiative on ASEAN-China Tourism Security and Safety for Regional Sustainable Development.
此次论坛是中国东盟首次聚焦旅游安全，就牢筑安全屏障，助力区域旅游和发展繁荣，探索务实解决方案，建立机制性合作。会议并通过中国—东盟中心的旅游安全合作倡议。

In his keynote address, Shi Zhongjun stressed that tourism is not only a vital driver of regional economic growth but also a key channel for people-to-people connectivity. While ASEAN tourism is showing signs of recovery after the pandemic, challenges such as security threats, telecom fraud, misinformation and regional conflicts continue to undermine public trust and restrict development. He called for strengthened domestic and regional collaboration in dealing with tourism safety and security, and proposed four priorities: deepening policy and security cooperation, balancing safety with sustainable development, enhancing tourism capacity building, and promoting digital innovation and governance. SG Shi urged all parties to jointly build a safer, more prosperous ASEAN-China tourism ecosystem, enrich the 2025 ASEAN-China Year of People-to-People Exchanges and work toward a closer China-ASEAN community with a shared future.
史忠俊在致辞中强调，旅游既是区域经济增长的重要引擎，也是增进民心相通的关键领域。东盟旅游业在疫情后有所复苏，但安全风险、电信诈骗、虚假信息及地区冲突等问题仍影响公众信任，制约旅游业发展。应加强国内和区域协作，携手应对。他提出四点建议，包括深化区域政策与安全合作、统筹安全与可持续发展、提升旅游能力建设、促进数字化创新与治理，呼吁共建更安全、更繁荣的中国—东盟旅游生态，丰富2025年中国东盟人文交流年，构建更紧密的中国-东盟命运共同体。

In a video message, Secretary-General Dr. Kao Kim Hourn of ASEAN stressed that tourism links both culture and economy, and safeguarding it is essential to restoring public confidence and advancing inclusive, balanced, and resilient growth. He underscored that ensuring tourism safety is integral to the ASEAN Vision 2045, and urged ASEAN states to share responsibility, strengthen cooperation and allow tourism to enhance mutual trust and development. Dr. Kao Kim Hourn also praised China’s recent visa facilitation measures for ASEAN visitors, highlighting the vast potential of ASEAN-China cooperation in tourism safety and needs for enhanced tourism security cooperation with China to create a model of common development and prosperity.
高金洪发表视频致辞，指出旅游联结人文和经济，保障旅游安全是提升民众信任、推动包容、平衡和有韧性的旅游业发展的关键，也是实现东盟2045愿景的重要内容。东盟各国应共担责任，携手提升安全保障、深化安全合作，推动旅游增进人文互信、共同发展。高赞赏中国近期一系列对东盟国家赴华签证便利政策，表示东盟与中国旅游互访与合作潜力巨大，应坚定推进与中国旅游安全合作，打造共同发展繁荣的典范。

Union Minister Jeng Phang Naw Tawng highlighted the need to address not only security threats but also non-traditional challenges such as public health, natural disasters and environmental degradation. He called for building high-standard safe tourism destinations and reinforcing security barriers as the foundation for tourism and economic growth. He reaffirmed Myanmar’s commitment to deepening China-Myanmar cooperation and enhancing tourism safety capacity, while praising the forum as a valuable platform for sharing best practices and promoting sustainable development.
杰鹏诺当致辞表示，安全威胁以及公共卫生、自然灾害、环境污染等非传统安全问题掣肘旅游业发展，需要跨部门跨领域跨国境合作应对。应着力构建高标准的旅游目的地安全体系，推动旅游和经济发展。重申缅将积极深化中国—缅甸合作，不断提升旅游安全保障能力。高度肯定本次论坛为促进各方经验分享、推动区域旅游可持续发展搭建了宝贵平台。

Davuth LY, Deputy Secretary General of the Lancang Mekong Integrated Law Enforcement and Security Cooperation Centre, noted that 2025 is both the ASEAN-China Year of People-to-people Exchanges and a critical stage for post-pandemic recovery. He emphasized the importance of tackling intertwined traditional and emerging risks to tourism safety through intelligence sharing and joint operations within such cooperation frameworks as the Nay Pyi Taw Declaration. He urged all parties to take the forum as an opportunity to deepen security cooperation and foster a safe, accessible and sustainable tourism environment.
澜湄中心副秘书长李大吴致辞表示，2025年是中国—东盟人文交流年，也正值旅游业疫后复苏的关键阶段。针对地区安全威胁与旅游安全新旧风险交织，中心将依托《内比都宣言》等合作框架，通过情报共享、联合行动等多维协作护航区域旅游发展，呼吁各方以本次论坛为契机，深化安全合作，推动中国—东盟共建安全便捷、可持续的旅游环境。

Delegates from China, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, the ASEAN Secretariat and others held in-depth discussions on issues including regional security challenges, cross-border crime, policy coordination, intelligence sharing, tourism police training, new technologies application for safety, information security, public awareness and workforce development. Participants agreed that tourism cannot thrive without security, and that even isolated incidents can erode public confidence. They resolved to strengthen comprehensive security systems, ensure accurate information dissemination, and advance high-quality tourism connectivity. The forum reached consensus on institutionalizing this mechanism to sustain cooperation between ASEAN and China in security and tourism, recognizing the forum and the ASEAN-China Centre’s Initiative as vital platforms and roadmaps for regional action.
中国、泰国、印尼、马来西亚、柬埔寨、东盟秘书处等与会各方围绕区域安全挑战及应对、政策协同与国别实践、打击跨国犯罪、加强情报分享、旅游警察培训、利用新技术构建安全旅游生态和治理模式、信息安全和公众认知、加强从业者培训等深入研讨交流，一致认为旅游离不开安全环境，单个安全事件会影响整体公众认知。当下区域面临传统和非传统安全挑战，以大安全保障旅游复苏，促进人文交流,推动经济发展，是当前东盟国家的共同课题与责任，一致决心加强安全体系建设与合作，同时确保信息准确传播和宣介，推动高质量旅游发展与联通。应将此次论坛机制化，持续推动地区国家间以及与中国的安全合作和旅游交流互鉴。认为论坛和中国—东盟中心倡议为区域旅游安全合作提供了重要平台和行动指南。

Following the forum, the ASEAN-China Centre and the Ministry of Hotels and Tourism of Myanmar co-hosted the ASEAN Travel Facilitation and Tourism Statistics Harmonization Workshop, exchanging views on building a more connected, open and flexible regional tourism system.
论坛闭幕后，中国—东盟中心还与缅甸酒店与旅游部于当日下午联合主办东盟旅行便利化与数据统计协调研讨会，就构建互联互通、开放灵活的区域旅游体系深入交换意见。
