The China–ASEAN Expo (CAEXPO) has made significant contributions to promoting economic and trade cooperation between China and ASEAN, particularly in the development of the ASEAN–China Free Trade Area.

Deputy PM Mai Van Chinh urged the two sides to highly prioritise railway cooperation, effectively utilise the Viet Nam – China Joint Railway Cooperation Committee, and ensure the groundbreaking of the Lao Cai – Ha Noi – Hai Phong railway project in 2025.

In an interview with Nhan Dan correspondent in China ahead of the China-ASEAN Expo (CAEXPO), Wei Zhaohui, Secretary-General of CAEXPO and Director-General of the Guangxi International Expo Affairs Bureau, highly valued Viet Nam’s role, noting its consistent participation over the years with the largest scale among ASEAN countries.
