The agreement was formalised at the 3rd Forum on China–ASEAN Artificial Intelligence Cooperation, reflecting shared ambitions to accelerate breakthroughs in AI, blockchain, and smart city development.
Building a Trusted Digital Infrastructure
The partnership aims to create a compliant, interoperable blockchain ecosystem enhanced by AI capabilities. Focus areas include asset pricing, risk management, and regulatory monitoring, with blockchain applied to tokenised assets such as real estate, private credit, and corporate equity.

Applications will extend to healthcare, finance, and city infrastructure, showcasing blockchain’s role in powering future-ready smart cities.
A forthcoming joint research paper on AI–blockchain interoperability was also announced, underscoring efforts to shape global standards for emerging technologies.
