More than 300 enterprises from Vietnam, China, ASEAN countries, Vietnamese industry associations, and domestic and foreign trade, tourism and investment promotion organizations are participating. The Chinese side showcases 62 booths and two exhibition zones featuring socio-economic achievements. Vietnam presents over 250 booths from 162 businesses across 31 provinces and cities, along with three dedicated areas highlighting local products and development potential.
The five-day fair features a diverse line-up of activities, including exhibitions on socio-economic progress, displays of OCOP products and Quang Ninh’s signature goods, business networking and product promotion events, the 2025 Investment Promotion and Industry Cooperation Forum, singing on the border river, a Vietnam - China international friendship run, and a series of trade promotion events.
Addressing the opening ceremony, Le Van Anh, Vice Chairman of the Quang Ninh provincial People’s Committee, emphasized that the fair is not only an annual trade promotion highlight for border localities but also a platform for comprehensive collaboration in economy, trade, investment, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges. Its influence extends widely across localities in both Vietnam and China, particularly in southwestern localities.
The fair plays a pivotal role in strengthening ties between enterprises of the two countries and between businesses and authorities of Quang Ninh province and China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It also contributes to realizing the shared understandings reached by leaders of the two Parties and the two States, as well as of Quang Ninh and Guangxi.
The event aims to advance international economic cooperation and integration, create opportunities for domestic and foreign enterprises to connect, showcase products, sign trade and tourism agreements, and promote investment. It further supports domestic production, market expansion, trade facilitation, partner engagement, and market connectivity. At the same time, it fosters border-area friendship, boosts import-export flows through local border gates, enhances a stable business environment, and stimulates year-end consumer demand.
