On June 10, an exchange conference to promote China (Guangdong)-ASEAN trade and supply chain cooperation will be held in Guangzhou, aiming to build a platform for dialogue and business matching.
Guangdong Sub-Administration of the GACC statistics revealed that ASEAN has been Guangdong's main trading partner for years. In 2024, Guangdong's annual foreign trade import and export volume exceeded 9 trillion yuan for the first time, making ASEAN Guangdong's largest trading partner. ASEAN is not only China's top export destination but also the largest overseas market for Guangdong-made products.
Malaysian durians, Thai mangosteens, and Vietnamese passion fruit are reaching millions of homes across the Greater Bay Area. At the same time, EVs from Guangdong are cruising through the streets of Thailand, while solar energy projects take root in Vietnam.
