简报
2020年，美国庆祝美国-东盟战略伙伴关系建立5周年。这项伙伴关系的建立以美国印度-太平洋战略（U.S. Indo-Pacific Strategy）和东盟印度-太平洋展望（ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific）阐明的双方共同原则为基础，其中包括东盟的中心性、对主权和法治的尊重、良好治理、透明、包容性、以规则为依据的框架和开放性。
增强未来公共卫生系统
美国继续引领全球卫生事业，其中包括美国政府为东盟成员国抗击COVID-19冠状病毒疾病提供的8,700多万美元援助。我们与我们的东盟伙伴为缓和目前的疫情肩并肩共同努力，同时提高东盟预防、检测和应对未来人畜共患疾病和其他传染病的疫情。作为美国-东盟健康未来（U.S.-ASEAN Health Futures）行动的组成部分，我们宣布以下新的措施：
发展人力资本建立连通性
印度-太平洋的人口占全世界的一半以上，年轻人口占全世界的58%。为此，有必要为人们提供参与全球经济的技术和资源，为自助自立创造条件。
美国政府与民营部门一起，为改善印度-太平洋各地人民的生活和福祉共同努力。以人民之间的交流、科学技术、创业精神、教育、技术训练等为重点的各类项目都建立在信任和个人关系的基础上。
通过“亿万未来行动计划”（Billion Futures Initiative），美国和东盟将使我们总共10亿人民充分释放出他们在公民社会、政府、学术和其他私人领域中的潜力，与“东盟印度-太平洋展望”的连通性支柱相吻合。支持这些行动计划将促进明天更加繁荣、民主、尊重权利与和平。
推进经济合作伙伴关系
美国与东盟共同对COVID-19冠状病毒疾病的经济影响感到担忧。我们如同几十年来一样，致力于这一地区的繁荣。2019年，美国与东盟之间的商品和服务贸易超过3,540亿美元。东盟是美国第四大贸易伙伴。当一个国家繁荣时，我们大家都繁荣。我们知道经济发展将会给地区带来更大的和平与安全。
美国国际发展署最近完成了东盟互联总体规划研究（ASEAN Interconnection Masterplan Study），以确定增加双边及多边电力贸易所必须的互联互通，而且在采纳之后，将形成得到更新的东盟电网（ASEAN Power Grid）地图的基础。
美国还在增强同东盟石油理事会（ASEAN Council on Petroleum）的合作来支持实施跨东盟天然气管道（Trans-ASEAN Gas Pipeline），通过纳入液化天然气基础设施以及协调的监管和法律框架。
为一个安全的印度-太平洋地区增进海事合作
经由印度-太平洋水域的贸易额每年超过35亿美元。为了建设一个更安全的印度-太平洋地区，美国寻求改善海事合作，并捍卫国际法规和标准，以解决种种地缘政治挑战。这些水域——例如在南中国海（South China Sea）——还为数百万人提供了生计。东盟和美国一直共同努力来促进海事资源的可持续发展。

SEPTEMBER 9, 2020
In 2020, the United States celebrates the fifth anniversary of the U.S.-ASEAN Strategic Partnership.  This partnership is built on our shared principles, as outlined in the U.S. Indo-Pacific Strategy and the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific, including ASEAN centrality, respect for sovereignty and rule of law, good governance, transparency, inclusivity, rules-based frameworks, and openness.
Strengthening Public Health Systems for the Future
The United States continues to be a leader in global health, including by providing more than $87 million in U.S. government assistance to fight COVID-19 in ASEAN member states.  We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with our ASEAN partners to mitigate the current pandemic, and also to strengthen ASEAN’s ability to prevent, detect, and respond to future zoonotic and other infectious disease outbreaks.  As part of the U.S.-ASEAN Health Futures initiative, we announced several new initiatives:
Building Connectivity Through Human Capital Development
The Indo-Pacific accounts for more than half the world’s population and 58 percent of the world’s youth. As such, it is important to provide people with skills and resources to participate in the global economy and create conditions for self-reliance.
The U.S. government works alongside the private sector to improve the lives and well-being of people across the Indo-Pacific. Programs focused on people-to-people exchange, science and technology, entrepreneurship, education, technical training, and more are rooted in trust and personal relationships.
Through the Billion Futures Initiative, the United States and ASEAN will unleash the full potential of our combined one billion people in civil society, government, academia, and the private sector, in line with the connectivity pillar of the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific.  Support for these initiatives promotes a more prosperous, democratic, rights-respecting, and peaceful tomorrow.
Advancing Partnerships in Economic Cooperation
The United States shares ASEAN’s concern for the economic impact of COVID-19.  We are committed to the prosperity of the region, as we have been for decades.  In 2019, trade in goods and services between the United States and ASEAN was more tan $354 billion.  ASEAN is the United States’ fourth-largest trading partner.  When one country prospers, we all prosper.  We know that economic development leads to a more peaceful and secure region.
Promoting Maritime Cooperation for a Secure Indo-Pacific
More than $3.5 trillion in trade transits Indo-Pacific waters annually.  In order to create a more secure Indo-Pacific region, the United States seeks to improve maritime cooperation and uphold international law and standards to resolve geopolitical challenges.  These waters – such as in the South China Sea – also provide livelihoods for millions of people.  ASEAN and the United States have worked together to promote the sustainable development of maritime resources.
