作为中国与东盟国家相交集的北部湾及其以南海域的南中国海,除了储藏丰富的自然资源外,也是国际贸易的主要动脉。2006年广西提出了泛北部湾经济合作的战略构想,为这一区域内谋求一个和平共处、互利互助合作开发的平台提供了一个难得的机遇。自治区政府发展研究中心副主任崔忠仁表示,泛北部湾经济合作取决于能否在各方间形成共赢的机制。 The Beibu Gulf, which is the intersection of China and ASEAN countries and the South China Sea south of the sea, is also the main artery of international trade, in addition to its abundant natural resources. In 2006, Guangxi proposed the strategic concept of Pan-Beibu Gulf economic cooperation, which provided a rare opportunity for the region to seek a platform for peaceful coexistence and mutual benefit and cooperation. According to Cui Zhongren, deputy director of the Development Research Center of the Autonomous Region, the Pan-Beibu Gulf economic cooperation depends on whether a win-win mechanism can be formed between the parties.
