中国驻东盟大使徐步表示，中国与东盟的关系已经步入“钻石十年”，双方之间将实现更为广泛、更加深入的合作。“中国—东盟建立对话关系25周年研讨会”于2016年6月在印度尼西亚中爪哇省的三宝垄市举行，徐大使在此次座谈会上称，东盟国家是中国周边外交优先方向。
徐大使指出，2016年是“东盟共同体”成立后的第一年，是中国“十三五规划”的开局之年，也是中国和东盟建立对话关系25周年。“如果说过去十年是中国与东盟关系发展的‘黄金十年’，那么，中国同东盟关系正如中国国务院总理李克强所说，已步入内涵更广、合作更深的‘钻石十年’。”徐大使在“中国—东盟对话关系25周年研讨会”上的讲话中指出。另外，来自中国和东盟成员国的数名专家参加了此次研讨会，并针对多个议题展开讨论。
2003年10月，中国与东盟建立了面向和平与繁荣的战略伙伴关系。徐大使说，中国与东盟建立对话关系25年来，双方在各领域务实合作中取得丰硕成果。2015年，中国—东盟贸易总额突破4720亿美元，双向投资累计超过1560亿美元，人员往来数量大幅提高，互派留学生超过18万人次。
徐大使指出，中国已连续7年成为东盟第一大贸易伙伴，而东盟连续4年成为中国第三大贸易伙伴。他进一步指出，每周往返于中国和东盟国家之间的航班超过1000架次。
徐大使说：“日益密切的贸易、人员及资金往来，将双方的命运紧紧联系在一起。”他继续说道，东盟共同体的建设，为深化与东盟经贸合作提供了新的契机。“本地区货物贸易、服务贸易和投资自由化、便利化程度得到进一步提高。在货物贸易领域，东盟域内货物已基本实现自由流通，成员国消费者对货物质量和价格拥有更多选择。”
在服务贸易领域，自1995年东盟服贸自由化一揽子政策出台以来，在《东盟服务协定框架》下已形成9套相关政策，制度透明化、 商业渗透率各项指标得到提高。
“医生、建筑师、导游等专业人士在域内执业情况大为改善。在投资领域，《东盟全面投资协议》的签署和执行有力地促进了域内资本自由流动和商业环境改善。”徐大使说。他认为，东盟共同体的建设，为中国—东盟自贸区提质升级注入了新的动力。“2015年11月，中国与东盟签署自贸区升级版议定书，2016年7月1日正式生效。东盟更广阔的市场、更便利的贸易条件和更优质的投资环境将有力促进中国—东盟自贸区的有效升级。”他补充道。
另外，“区域全面经济伙伴关系”谈判目前正处于关键阶段，东盟经济共同体的成立也将促进这一谈判进程。“中方充分尊重东盟方在谈判中的核心地位，愿与东盟方一道通力合作，务实推动谈判各方弥合分歧、相向而行，力争年内结束谈判。”徐大使说道。
他进一步指出，中国愿与东盟方一同携手，加速推进多双边自贸谈判，营造区域良好经贸投资氛围，力争实现到2020年中国与东盟贸易额达到1万亿美元，新增双向投资1500亿美元的目标。
谈到《东盟经济共同体2025蓝图》时，徐大使表示，帮助东盟国家开展基础设施建设，推进工业化与产业升级。“中方将努力推进已达成协议的中老、中泰铁路和中印（尼）雅万高铁等重点项目，积极推动泛亚铁路网建设，提高本地区互联互通水平，促进本地区人员和贸易往来。”他说。
与此同时，印度尼西亚茂物农业大学海洋与海岸带发展研究所的罗克敏.达胡利教授认为，对区域内国家和整个国际社会而言，打造一个稳定、和平的亚洲地区环境，至关重要，势在必行。
“过去二十年，中国与东盟各国在经济发展方面取得突飞猛进的发展，然而，除新加坡和文莱以外，马来西亚、其余七个东盟国家以及中国在一定程度上仍面临高失业率、贫困、健康与卫生等问题。”兼任印尼水产养殖协会主席的罗克敏说道。
罗克敏指出，就国内生产总值（GDP）而言，只有新加坡和文莱两个国家的人均GDP超过11750美元，迈入了高收入国家的行列。另外，从人均GDP总量和技术能力两方面来看，自2010年以来，只有新加坡一个国家达到了世界发达国家水平。
“换言之，中国和其他东盟国家（除新加坡、文莱以外）要切实实现将自身建设成为经济发达、繁荣昌盛的国家的梦想，任重而道远。因此，对中国和东盟各成员国来说，维护地区稳定，构建和平的全球社会政治环境，是大势所趋。”罗克敏说。
他继续说道，“区域稳定与和平得不到保障，将阻碍域内各国之间的投资与贸易的发展，进而降低经济增长速度，增加失业率和降低人们的生活水平。”
罗克敏称，2008年全球经济危机爆发后，中国与东盟国家成为全球经济的增长引擎， 因此，建立互利、和平、高效、可持续的中国—东盟双边关系，符合全球经济发展的要求。
“中国—东盟地区是全球最具经济发展活力的地区，该地区的经济增长率是美国、加拿大、英国和澳大利亚等发达国家的三至四倍。”这位印度尼西亚前海事与渔业部部长说。

Singapore to Create a Smart Nation
By Jolene Yeo
Singapore sits atop global rankings in many areas – education， healthcare， seaports and airports. But the success story of the city-state is far from done. Singapore， a country with one of the world’s highest smartphone penetration rate， is about to add the “world’s leading Smart Nation” honorific to its slew of grand achievements. The vision of a “smart nation” is almost a dystopian one – autonomous cars ruling streets， Biopolis cities within giant domes， cities broken up into capsule climate-controlled biospheres.
The Smart Nation initiative seeks to harness information communication technology， networks and data to create a profound impact in changing the way we live， work and play. Coordinating this initiative is the Smart Nation Programme Office in the Prime Minister’s Office， rallying citizens， industries， research institutions and the government to co-create innovative solutions to deal with current problems.
Singapore’s Smart Nation initiatives
The Smart Nation initiative will allow Singapore to tackle the challenges of today and tomorrow. These challenges include urban density， the ageing population， healthcare， mobility and energy sustainability.
With a population density of 8，000 per square kilometre， Singapore is the world’s third most densely populated nation. Coupled with that is the expected avalanche of elderly population and rising dependency ratio （the ratio of working adults supporting the elderly）. The Smart Nation initiative tackles these problems through the Housing Development Board’s “Smart HDB Town Framework”.
Specifically， the Smart Elderly Alert System will include motion sensors in the house to monitor the safety of elderly residents. These data collected by private companies can then be accessed， with permission， by care givers. Given the flux of elderly residents and an increasing number living alone， this will give family members and caregivers of elderly a piece of mind when leaving alone at home.
At present， households in Yuhua estate and Punggol Northshore estate in Singapore use such Smart technology to monitor the safety of residents， as well as to management lightning and waste management， which includes waste tracking to reveal and prevent the spread of diseases.
Towards the likes of the Hunger Games Arena is the idea of Fluid Walls – walls coming alive. Architecture will be made more physically flexible， with walls， ceilings and partitions that fold and unfold. This results in more dynamic spaces， reaping multiple usages derived from the same square footage.
Other initiatives， perhaps to the benefit of energy sustainability but of detriment to the pockets of taxpayers， including mandatory satellite-linked devices that will be placed in all Singapore-registered vehicles – including those of private citizens. The satellite-based tracking will allow tolls to be charged more precisely， based on distance travelled. It would also allow for dynamic pricing， adapting the prices based on road conditions in real-time. How ready is Singapore to embrace disruptive technology？
Pundits of Singapore’s ICT and innovation sector continue to express the lack of an entrepreneurial culture in Singapore. While Singapore relies heavily of imports of advanced technology and technology experts to supplement the local talent pool， Singapore’s private sector may not yet be receptive to the development of innovations because of the lack of a sizeable indigenous high-tech sector. Given the island-nation’s struggles with raising labour productivity above its current anemic level， it may be a sign that innovation is not a pronounced characteristic of the Singapore economy.
While far from the likes of MIT or Silicon Valley， the culture of entrepreneurship has made inroads into Singapore. Launchpad， for instance， is a start up district that brings together the government， start-ups and venture capitalists. It has since been described as the world’s densest start-up ecosystem. Furthermore， the likes of Zopim， Carrousell and Viki stands as testament to the growing clout of Singapore’s home-grown successes.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology （MIT） has also established a research centre -- conveniently known as SMART （Singapore-MIT Alliance for Research and Technology） in Singapore， the first of its kind outside the United States. Professor Hastings， director of SMART says that Singapore has the “political will to innovate”.
Although a parliamentary democracy， Singapore’s unitary-state like structure of governance has long played an essential role in the island-nation glorious success stories， and its ability to effect policy changes and effect change on the ground， be it by the carrot or the stick. Research institutions such as the likes of SMART often receive an undisclosed chunk of ever growing tranche of government research money – cut out of the country’s opulent government coffers.
The smart nation rhetoric promises a myriad of possibilities. The Singapore government’s ambitious trajectory seeks to thread a fine line between scrutiny into the private sphere， and sustainability. While both the education and economic landscape appears to be morphing in favour of embracing innovation， it remains to be seen if Singapore can punch above its weight to carry the clout of the world’s first “Smart Nation”.
