2022 年 5 月 12 日
拜登总统将欢迎东南亚国家联盟（东盟）领导人出席首次在华盛顿特区和白宫举行的具有历史意义的美国-东盟特别峰会，以重申美国对东南亚的持久承诺，并强调美国-东盟合作在确保安全、繁荣和尊重人权方面的重要性。
 
多年以来，美国不断深化与东南亚各国的伙伴关系。自 2002 年以来，美国在发展、经济、卫生和安全方面向东南亚盟国和合作伙伴提供了超过 121 亿美元的援助；在同一时期，美国提供了超过 14 亿美元的人道主义援助，包括挽救生命的救灾援助、紧急粮食援助以及对东南亚各地难民的帮助。基于我们对这一重要地区的长期承诺，拜登-哈里斯政府在2023 财年预算申请中包括了为东盟伙伴提供的超过八亿美元的双边援助，以及超过 2500 万美元的资金用于深化与东盟的关系，并增强东盟应对地区紧迫挑战的能力。
 
美国和东南亚也受益于我们广泛的商业和贸易关系。东盟是全球第四大市场，美国是东盟最大的外商直接投资来源，2020年的双边贸易额超过3600亿美元。
 
归根结底，美国与东盟的关系建立在我们 10 亿人民所共有的特殊友谊的基础上。在东盟国家 83 个美国资料中心 (American Spaces) 开展的 7000 个项目、东南亚青年领袖计划 (Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative) 的 15万5千名结业学员、以及自 2010 年以来向东南亚地区旅客签发近 600 万份美国签证（包括学生签证）所带来的联系都是我们致力于不断深化人民与人民的纽带关系的见证。
 
在 2021 年 10 月举行的美国-东盟年度峰会上，拜登总统为美国-东盟关系宣布了一项高达 1.02 亿美元的前所未有的投资，大力扩展我们在卫生、气候、科学与创新、贸易、教育等领域的合作。今天，在“美国印太战略”（Indo-Pacific Strategy of the United States）和“东盟印太展望计划”(ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific) 相辅相成的目标指导下，美国和东盟将开启一个新的伙伴关系时代。本着这一精神，拜登总统即将宣布总额超过 1.5 亿美元的多项行动计划，我们预计这将带动数十亿美元的民间投资，进而深化美国与东盟的关系，加强东盟的中心地位，并扩大我们实现共同目标的共同能力。
 
加速气候行动、可持续发展和共融性繁荣
 
为支持“美国-东盟气候未来计划”（U.S.-ASEAN Climate Futures）和“美国-东盟经济未来计划”（U.S.-ASEAN Economic Futures），美国和东盟将提高我们共同的远大气候目标，同时共同努力支持实施“2025东盟互联互通总体规划” (Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity 2025)。我们将以可持续的方式来帮助满足该地区巨大的基础设施需求，从而加速清洁能源转型，帮助该地区在本世纪中叶实现净零排放，并推动建立在广泛基础上的共同繁荣。
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
为扩大教育机会提供支持
 
美国-东盟关系的力量植根于我们之间 10 亿人民所共享的友谊。美国每年提供超过 7000 万美元的资金用于支持教育和文化交流，以增进了解、加强合作并建立长期友谊，从而增强我们社区的长期实力和韧性。
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
扩大海事合作
 
美国坚决支持“东盟印太海洋支柱展望”的实施。今天，我们宣布斥资  6000 万美元，用于新的区域海事计划，这些计划的大部分将主要由美国海岸警卫队 (USCG) 牵头执行。
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
促进全球健康和健康保障
 
为支持“美国-东盟健康未来计划”，美国和东盟正在迅速采取行动，抗击新冠肺炎疫情，加强卫生系统和促进健康保障。通过国务院和美国国际开发署，美国已自豪地提供了超过两亿美元的新冠肺炎疫情援助，并向东南亚捐赠了超过 1.15 亿剂安全有效的新冠肺炎疫苗，并且还在继续提供更多。

President Biden will welcome the leaders of the Association of Southeast Nations (ASEAN) for a historic U.S.-ASEAN Special Summit, held for the first time in Washington D.C. and at the White House, to re-affirm the United States’ enduring commitment to Southeast Asia and underscore the importance of U.S.-ASEAN cooperation in ensuring security, prosperity, and respect for human rights.
Over many years, the United States has steadily deepened our partnership with Southeast Asia. The United States has provided over $12.1 billion in development, economic, health, and security assistance to Southeast Asian allies and partners since 2002 and over that same period of time, the United States has provided over $1.4 billion in humanitarian assistance, including life-saving disaster assistance, emergency food aid, and support to refugees throughout Southeast Asia. Building on our long-standing commitment to this critical region, the Biden-Harris Administration’s FY 2023 Budget Request included over $800 million in bilateral assistance for ASEAN partners and over $25 million to deepen relations with ASEAN and enhance ASEAN’s capacity to tackle pressing regional challenges.
The United States and Southeast Asia also benefit from our far-reaching commercial and trade ties. ASEAN represents the world’s fourth largest market and the United States is ASEAN’s largest source of foreign direct investment, while our two-way trade amounted to over $360 billion in 2020.
U.S.-ASEAN relations are ultimately anchored in the special friendship shared by our combined one billion people. Our ongoing commitment to deepening people-to-people ties is marked by 7000 programs at 83 American Spaces in ASEAN countries, the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative’s 155,000 alumni, and the connections forged through nearly 6 million U.S. visas, including student visas, granted to Southeast Asian travelers since 2010.
At the annual U.S.-ASEAN Summit in October 2021, President Biden announced an unprecedented investment of up to $102 million in U.S.-ASEAN relations, significantly expanding our cooperation on health, climate, science and innovation, trade facilitation, education, and more. Today, the United States and ASEAN will inaugurate a new era of partnership, guided by the complementary objectives of the Indo-Pacific Strategy of the United States and the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific. In that spirit, President Biden is announcing over $150 million in initiatives which we expect will mobilize billions more in private financing that will deepen U.S.-ASEAN relations, strengthen ASEAN centrality, and expand our common capacity to achieve our shared objectives.
ACCELERATING CLIMATE ACTION, SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, AND INCLUSIVE PROSPERITY
In support of U.S.-ASEAN Climate Futures and U.S.-ASEAN Economic Futures, the United States and ASEAN will raise our collective climate ambition while working together to support implementation of the Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity 2025.  We will help meet the region’s enormous infrastructure needs in a sustainable manner that accelerates the clean energy transition, helps the region to achieve a path to net zero emissions by mid-century, and drives inclusive, broad-based prosperity.
SUPPORTING ACCESS TO EDUCATION 
The strength of U.S.-ASEAN relations is anchored in the friendship shared by our combined one billion people. Each year the United States provides more than $70 million to support educational and cultural exchanges that foster greater understanding, enhance cooperation, and create lifelong friendships that increase the strength and resilience of our communities over the long term.
EXPANDING MARITIME COOPERATION
The United States is committed to supporting implementation of the ASEAN Outlook on the Indo-Pacific’s Maritime Pillar. Today we are announcing $60 million in new regional maritime initiatives, most of which will be led by the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG).
PROMOTING GLOBAL HEALTH AND HEALTH SECURITY 
In support of U.S.-ASEAN Health Futures, the United States and ASEAN are taking swift action to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, strengthen health systems, and promote health security. The United States is proud to have provided over $200 million in COVID-19 assistance through the Department of State and USAID and donated over 115 million doses of safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines in Southeast Asia, with more on the way.
