Last year saw good momentum in China's strengthening ties with other Asian countries, as indicated by the frequent high-level exchanges and the expansion of two-way economic and trade links. The high-level exchanges greatly boosted bilateral political trust, while China remained the largest export market for Asian countries - its imports from the rest of the region totaling $446.5 billion, up 41.1 percent year-on-year. The Free Trade Area (FTA) between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), established on Jan 1, 2010, is the largest among developing countries, and has significantly accelerated flows of capital, materials, technology and human resources. China, Japan and the Republic of Korea (ROK) will complete a joint study on a proposed FTA by 2012. (China Daily)
