试论中国与南盟多边合作的机制与进程

中国成为南盟观察员，标志着中国与南亚国家间关系开始由传统的双边模式向多边模式扩展。但南盟内部多边合作机制存在结构性功能障碍，合作成效低下；南盟与观察员国家的多边合作机制尚不健全，无力推动与区外国家的多边合作。作为观察员中唯一与南盟相邻的大国，中国应根据不同层次的事务构建相应的合作机制，确定适当的合作进程。

It is a critical step for promoting China - SAARC relations, and coping with regional common affairs by creating proper interactive mechanism. This paper proposes to create the ＂8 ＋ 1＂ mechanism between China and SAARC, accordingly, outlines the co-operative processes and its content.
