峰會背景
作為全球經濟成長最快的區域，東南亞新興經濟體備受世界矚目。在全球經濟增速放緩大背景下，東協和印度經濟成長突飛猛進，預計東協2017年的經濟增速將達到4.7%。據亞洲開發銀行預估，至2030年東南亞基礎設施投資所需資金將達31470億美元。
隨著東協十國《東協互聯互通總體規劃2025》和中國“一帶一路”倡議發布，軌道交通建設合作在東南亞地區普遍展開。據統計，區域內在建及擬建鐵路項目總里程超過40000公里。“泛亞鐵路網”建設更深化了東協與周邊國家的合作。東協國家正積極尋求在軌道交通市場、資金、技術方面的國際合作。
中國軌道交通企業經過多年的國內積累和海外發展，憑藉成本、技術、效率等綜合優勢，逐步贏得了國際市場的認可，與東協國家合作開展的雅萬高鐵、中老鐵路、中泰鐵路等項目成為中國軌道交通企業“走出去”的成功實踐。據統計，中國製造的機車車輛、城市軌道交通裝備已經出口全球80多個國家和地區，其中東協、美國、阿根廷和南非為前4大出口市場。中國鐵路裝備首個海外製造基地——東協製造中心已於2015年在馬來西亞建成投產。
