2026年5月13日，中国一东盟中心在江苏大学举办研讨会，围绕新加坡尤索夫•伊萨东南亚研究院《东南亚态势2026调查报告》，深入研讨中国一东盟关系发展，并为共同应对国际能源危机建言献策。来自中国及新加坡、柬埔寨、印度尼西亚、老挝、马来西亚、菲律宾、泰国、越南的学者参会，东帝汶驻华大使、泰国驻沪总领事及多国驻沪领事出席。

The representative from the ISEAS-Yusof Ishak Institute, Ms. Joanne Lin, presented key findings of the State of Southeast Asia 2026 Survey Report, providing a systematic interpretation and analysis of the current status and trends of Southeast Asian countries’ attitudes towards major economies within and outside the region. She noted that this year’s report, for the first time, reflects a shift in the region’s strategic choice towards China over another major power. Respondents generally expressed deep concerns over geopolitical conflicts, global trade shifts, and energy security challenges. They hoped to replace strategic balancing acts with greater resilience when navigating external changes, and to safeguard regional energy security and achieve common prosperity through strengthening strategic autonomy and deepening regional cooperation.
尤索夫•伊萨东南亚研究院代表林薇伶系统解读《东南亚态势2026调查报告》，特别是东南亚国家对域内外主要经济体，尤其是对华、对美国态度的现状与趋势。表示今年报告首次反映地区国家战略选择的天平由美向华，普遍对地缘政治冲突、全球贸易变局和能源安全挑战深感担忧，希望在应对变局中，以更多韧性替代搞战略平衡，通过强化战略自主、深化区域合作，保障地区能源安全，实现地区共同繁荣发展。

ASEAN and Chinese scholars shared the view that trade protectionism has disrupted the global economic and trade order as well as the stability of industrial and supply chains, adding downward pressure on the global economy. The lack of coherence and stability in such policy runs counter to the trend of regional collaborative development, and is detrimental to the long-term development of the region. ASEAN scholars viewed the recent interactions between the heads of state of China and the U.S. positively, believing that such moves help both sides manage differences and create a favorable external environment for regional development. China’s positive contributions to regional development are fully recognized and appreciated especially in improving infrastructure and driving regional economic growth in ASEAN countries. They expressed that ASEAN countries look forward to continuously enhancing political mutual trust with China, tapping into the potential of cooperation in trade, investment, and emerging industries, and particularly strengthening clean energy cooperation to jointly safeguard regional energy security and promote the steady and sustained growth of the ASEAN-China Comprehensive Strategic Partnership (CSP).
与会中国及东盟国家学者指出，个别域外国家推行贸易保护主义，扰乱全球经贸秩序与产业链供应链稳定，加剧全球经济下行压力，其对外政策缺乏连贯性与稳定性，背离区域协同发展潮流，不利于地区长远发展。东盟学者积极看待中美元首近期互动，认为此举有助于双方管控分歧，为区域发展营造良好外部环境。各方充分肯定中国为地区发展作出积极贡献，赞赏中方助力东盟国家完善基础设施、带动区域经济发展，表示东盟各国期盼同中国持续增进政治互信，深挖经贸投资与新兴产业合作潜力，尤其要加强清洁能源合作，共同守护区域能源安全，推动东盟—中国全面战略伙伴关系行稳致远。

H.E. Shi Zhongjun, Secretary General of the ACC, stated that the current international situation is complex and volatile, marked by intensifying geopolitical competition and prominent global energy security challenges. As the year 2026 marks the 35th anniversary of ASEAN-China dialogue relations and the 5th anniversary of the ASEAN-China CSP, the bilateral cooperation stands at a new historical starting point. ASEAN and China should further consolidate strategic consensus, firmly uphold ASEAN’s centrality, and adhere to multilateralism and open regionalism; deepen cooperation in trade, green energy, digital economy, and industrial and supply chains, while strengthening people-to-people exchanges; and safeguard regional peace, stability, development, and prosperity, contributing to a closer ASEAN-China community with a shared future, and injecting more certainty into global South-South cooperation and sustainable world development.
中国一东盟中心秘书长史忠俊表示，当前国际形势复杂多变、地缘竞争加剧、全球能源安全挑战突出，2026年恰逢中国一东盟建立对话关系35周年、全面战略伙伴关系建立5周年，双方合作站在新的历史起点。中国与东盟应进一步凝聚战略共识，坚定维护东盟中心地位，坚持多边主义与开放区域主义，深化经贸、绿色能源、数字经济与产业链供应链合作，拉紧人文交流纽带，共同维护地区和平稳定与发展繁荣，助力构建更为紧密的中国一东盟命运共同体，为全球南南合作与世界可持续发展注入更多确定性。
