Southeast Asia Information Port (www.dnyxxg.com) – Chinese Ambassador to Vietnam He Wei stated on the 11th that in 2025, bilateral trade between China and Vietnam will historically surpass the US$290 billion mark. China will remain Vietnam's largest export market for agricultural and aquatic products, with Vietnamese fruit and vegetable exports to China generating US$5.5 billion in foreign exchange, significantly contributing to increased income and prosperity for local farmers.
On the same day, the 2026 Spring Festival Meeting between the Party Secretaries of Guangxi, China, and five Vietnamese provinces and cities was held in Nanning. He Wei attended the meeting and delivered a speech.
He Wei stated that in 2025, China-Vietnam cooperation will flourish across the board, with frequent good news, marking another new high point in bilateral relations. Chinese investment in Vietnam will see both scale and quality improve. Connectivity projects such as the three standard-gauge railways in northern Vietnam, smart ports, and cross-border economic cooperation zones will progress steadily. Cooperation in emerging fields such as the digital economy, green transformation, and high-end manufacturing will flourish. Cultural exchanges are also noteworthy. According to incomplete statistics, there are nearly 4,000 flights between China and Vietnam each month. The number of Chinese tourists visiting Vietnam has not only returned to the top spot, but their proportion is also astonishing; one in four international tourists visiting Vietnam is Chinese.
He Wei stated that currently, China and Vietnam are increasingly eager to strengthen cooperation and jointly promote development and revitalization at the local level. Guangxi has long worked hand in hand with the five northern provinces and cities of Vietnam to make Guangxi-Vietnam cooperation a prominent highlight of bilateral relations. The Chinese section of the China-Vietnam Puzhai-Xinqing freight corridor has achieved unmanned and intelligent transformation, enabling 24-hour customs clearance and reducing transportation time by at least 75%. The intelligent gates at the Friendship Pass border crossing allow a truck to pass through in 15 seconds. In 2025, the number of inbound and outbound vehicles will exceed one million, a year-on-year increase of over 35%, setting a new historical record. The border between Guangxi and the five Vietnamese provinces and cities is no longer just a simple boundary line, but a "golden channel" for the continuous flow of people, goods, and capital. (End)
