At the 3rd China-ASEAN Information and Communication Seminar kicked off in Bangkok on Friday, Chinese Information Technology Industry Minister Wang Xudong said China is willing to carry out broader cooperation with ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) countries in the fields of network construction, business operation and government regulation and consultation.
