□ 文/本刊實習記者 李敏軍

在中國—東盟博覽會的舞臺上，中國和東盟10國以合作詮釋共贏，合作共贏之路越走越寬廣。經過14年的長足發展，中國—東盟博覽會已成為促進中國與東盟合作的有效公共平臺。

我和東博會共同成長

毛?維斯那是柬埔寨商業部貿促總局展覽事務部科長，已經第9次參與東博會。說起自己與東博會的緣分，他笑稱自己在東博會的“舞臺”上逐漸成長，也見證了東博會的長足發展。

“第一次參會時我還只是個負責東博會相關工作的新人，職權無足輕重。但如今我已經擁有了10年的參會經驗，我也因此開始承擔較為重要的責任，參與到東博會各項重大的籌備工作中去。”毛?維斯那在出席第14屆東博會高官會時接受了中外媒體聯合采訪。他告訴記者，他眼中的東博會，人氣和知名度都很高，是促進中柬經貿合作的一個重要平臺，柬埔寨政府每年都把它當作一個重大活動來積極籌備。

毛?維斯那的“東博會故事”只是中國與東盟合作加速的的一個縮影，耕耘數載，東博會已碩果累累，在過去的13屆東博會中，共有63位中國和東盟國家領導人、2700位部長級貴賓出席，58.4萬客商參會。促成了中馬“兩國雙園”、中國—東盟信息港等一批重大項目落地，成為中國—東盟合作的有效公共平臺，推動中國—東盟自貿區升級和21世紀海上絲綢之路建設，樹立了互利共贏的典范。

凝心聚力 合作共贏

2017年3月13日，第14屆東博會高官會在廣西南寧舉行，會議透露，第14屆東博會將于2017年9月12～15日在南寧舉辦。

為了進一步推動東博會升級發展，提高經貿實效，來自中國和東盟10國的東博會共辦方高官暢敘發展，共商籌備第14屆東博會，持續推動海上絲綢之路、自貿區升級版建設之大計。

中國—東盟博覽會秘書處秘書長王雷在會議上介紹，本屆東博會將以“共建21世紀海上絲綢之路，旅游助推區域經濟一體化”為主題，以中國—東盟旅游合作年為契機，以貿易、投資、旅游合作為重點，推動中國—東盟自由貿易區升級版建設，促進區域經濟一體化朝著更高水平互利共贏的方向發展，使21世紀海上絲綢之路從共識走向務實，努力實現“友好合作邁上新臺階，經貿實效實現新超越，多領域交流取得新成果，展會影響力又有新提升”的總體目標。

中國商務部亞洲司官員凌霄也表示，將繼續做好東盟各國領導人和部長的邀請工作，促進政商高端對接，并加強中國與東盟的國際產能合作，完善投資促進工作機制，把東博會打造成為企業間相互投資的權威平臺。

新亮點繽紛呈現

2017年是東盟成立50周年，中國—東盟旅游合作年，中國—東盟關系迎來新的機遇，新一屆的東博會將進一步拓展中國與東盟的合作，增進中國與東盟國家的友好互信，深化雙邊的互利合作。

為有效促進東博會發揮好平臺作用，第14屆東博會將聯合中科院等70多家研究院，向東盟國家推介中國航天、化工、通信、裝備制造業等高新技術，促進具有產能優勢的中國企業到東盟國家投資，將“中國智造”融入中國—東盟產能合作領域。

“我們將繼續推進‘一主多專、巡展并行’的辦展格局。”王雷秘書長介紹，2017年5月將在文萊斯里巴加灣舉辦2017東博會文萊展暨文萊首屆中小微企業展，6月在越南河內舉辦“2017東博會機電展（越南）”，繼續辦好農業、輕工、林業、文化、旅游等專業展。

值得一提的是，第14屆東博會將著力打造面向全球的經貿合作平臺，鼓勵RCEP(區域全面經濟伙伴關系)成員國、“一帶一路”沿線國家借助東博會平臺加深國際經貿合作。為突出國際經貿合作，東博會將原有的“特邀貴賓國機制”改名為“特邀合作伙伴機制”，邀請“一帶一路”沿線國家出任本屆東博會特邀合作伙伴。

春的花蕾，秋的收獲。新形勢下的第14屆東博會將給中國—東盟交流合作帶來哪些豐碩的成果，令人充滿期待。
