This meeting is a concrete measure taken by the two sides to promote the implementation of the results of recent important meetings between the leaders of the two countries.

The goal is to positively promote the in-depth cooperation between capital markets and boost the economic integration and development between China and ASEAN. SZSE continues to strengthen cross-border capital cooperation and vigorously promote cross-border financial service innovation for technology enterprises and SMEs. SZSE's innovation and venture investing and financing service platform (V-Next) has been launched in more than 30 countries and its coverage is gradually expanding. Besides, the trading system and monitoring system independently developed by SZSE enjoys world leading advantages. And SZSE is exploring practical and sustainable technical cooperation with a number of exchanges in the countries and regions along the Belt and Road to promote technical cooperation and international services between exchanges.
Wu Lijun pointed out that the friendship between China and the Philippines has a long history. On the occasion of further quality improvement and upgrading of bilateral relations, the cooperation between Chinese and Philippine exchanges has also embraced new historical opportunities.
