China regards the upcoming Asean-China and Asean 3 summits here as significant meetings, and will put forward its "principled propositions and related suggestions" to enhance bilateral and regional co-operation, according to a Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry official.

Cui Tiankai, Director-General of the Department of Asian Affairs in the ministry, said Prime Minister Wen Jiabao would deliver "important" speeches at the summits.

He said that as next year marked the 15th anniversary of the establishment of the Asean-China dialogue partnership, this year's Asean-China Summit would be of great significance in that "it bridges the past and the future".

"China will fully affirm the achievements and experience that have been scored over the past 15 years since China and Asean established the dialogue," he added.

"He (Wen) would explain China's views on the future direction of bilateral relations and work out specific initiatives to deepen co-operation," he said when briefing reporters in Beijing on Wen's upcoming attendance at the summits and subsequent official visit to Malaysia.

Cui said China would also propose enhanced bilateral cooperation on measures to tackle bird flu and other newly emerging epidemics which he felt represented severe challenges for both China and Asean.
