Abstract:

The development and construction of the Maritime Silk Road have an extremely important strategic significance for
economic and cultural exchanges between China and the rest of the world. Strengthening the oil and gas cooperation between
China and ASEAN is an important part of the construction and development of the Maritime Silk Road. Oil and gas cooperation
between China and ASEAN has a history. At present,both sides share an interest in the Straits of Malacca and the South China
Sea oil and gas channels. The construction of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area,the ASEAN countries’ oil and gas production
decline and the consumption rise and Chinese government stress on oil and gas cooperation with neighboring countries,etc.
provide a good opportunity for the future of oil and gas cooperation to both sides. In order to promote oil and gas cooperation
between China and ASEAN,it is necessary to take the following measures: maintaining close high-level exchanges,expanding
government co-operations;strengthening the construction of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area,increasing oil and gas investment
in ASEAN countries,and continuing to explore new ways and new mechanism of South China Sea oil and gas cooperation and
so on.

Key words: Maritime Silk Road, ASEAN, energy security, oil and gas cooperation, China-ASEAN Free Trade Area, South
