Chinese Premier Tuesday put forward a four-point proposal on the development of relations between China and Brunei, and vowed to boost ties with the Philippines and Myanmar.

Wen made the remarks when meeting with Brunei's Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah, Philippine President Gloria Arroyo and Myanmar Prime Minister Lieutenant-General Soe Win on the sidelines of the 10th Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) summit.

Wen offered a four-point proposal to Brunei's Sultan Hassanal: to increase bilateral trade; to deepen cooperation in energy; to expand cooperation on infrastructure construction; as well as to strengthen security cooperation so as to ensure peace and stability in the region.

Hassanal echoed Wen's proposal, saying there is a greater prospect for the two sides in joint gas-exploitation, which he believed could promote economic and trade cooperation between the two countries.

During the meeting with Philippine President Arroyo, Wen said the consensus reached between Chinese President Hu Jintao and Arroyo has been implemented. The two countries have made great progress in railway construction and agricultural technology.

The Sino-Philippine agreement on joint research of oceanic earthquake in South China Sea is of significance to their bilateral ties and will contribute to the peace and stability in the region.

China will continue taking part in infrastructure projects in the Philippines, hoping to build a closer relationship between the two sides, said Wen.

Arroyo appreciated China's efforts to further bilateral cooperation in infrastructure construction, saying that her country is to abide by the relevant agreements on South China Sea.

When meeting with Myanmar Prime Minister Soe Win, Wen said China attaches great importance to its friendly relations with Myanmar.

The internal affairs of Myanmar should be solved by its own government and people, he stressed.

Soe Win expressed his willingness to boost exchanges and cooperation with China, saying that his government would continue the process of democratization.
