The annual China-ASEAN Expo will be held in Nanning, South China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, from Tuesday to Saturday. It will showcase the outcomes of fruitful cooperation between the two major economies and highlight the potential for more in-depth cooperation in emerging sectors such as green energy and AI. The expo has been successfully held for a total of 20 years, and has witnessed the rapid development of the friendship between China and ASEAN.
The expo will feature a special exhibition area dedicated to advanced technologies, showcasing high-end equipment, new materials, and innovative products in advanced manufacturing from China and ASEAN countries, with an emphasis on promoting win-win development in the technology and industry sectors.
As an important and indispensable platform for economic and trade cooperation between China and ASEAN, the expo has played a significant role in cementing a close partnership between the two major economies, particularly in high-tech fields, which contributes greatly to ASEAN economy’s sustainable growth.
The success of closer China-ASEAN cooperation is attributed not only to their geographic proximity and cultural affinity but also to their shared aspirations for equality, inclusive growth, and prosperity. This stands in sharp contrast to the exploitation and colonization of ASEAN lands by Western powers about 100 years ago.
