The participation of many leaders, politicians and the business community at this Fair has affirmed that economic - trade cooperation and international economic linkages between countries are inevitable needs, reflecting the strong desire and determination of regional countries in maintaining smooth trade as the blood vessels in the global trade artery.
“The fair is not only a simple trade, business and investment promotion event for the business community, but has become a forum to promote connections and share opportunities for harmonious, sustainable and inclusive development between the economies of ASEAN countries, the South Asian region and China, most directly between Yunnan province and localities of countries in the region,” Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha emphasized.

The China-South Asia Fair and the Kunming Import and Export Fair are jointly organized by the Chinese Government and the Ministry of Commerce and the People's Government of Yunnan Province, China, annually in Kunming City, Yunnan Province, China. The objective of the Fair is to focus on promoting Yunnan Province - an important gateway to the Southwest region of China with a population of about 200 million people, with an important geopolitical position in the "One Belt, One Road" strategy of the Chinese Government, to strengthen extensive cooperation with South Asian and ASEAN countries. The Fair is the most important economic and political event in the Southwest region of China, which the Chinese Government has focused on investing in to serve the above strategy.
In the first 5 months of the year, Vietnam's export turnover to China reached 23.54 billion USD, up 3.2%; imports from China reached 69.35 billion USD, up 25% over the same period last year. Vietnam and China in general and Yunnan province in particular still have much potential to enhance economic and trade cooperation.
With its geographical location adjacent to the four border provinces of Lao Cai, Ha Giang, Dien Bien, and Lai Chau of Vietnam, Yunnan province has close economic and trade cooperation with localities in Vietnam and is also an important gateway for Vietnamese export goods, especially agricultural and aquatic products exported to the Southwest market of China. This is also a potential market for the export of goods of Vietnamese enterprises, especially enterprises in the northern border provinces.
The 9th China-South Asia Expo and the 29th Kunming Import and Export Fair will last until June 24, 2025.
