Chinaarab Park Partners with CAEXPO to Enhance Belt and Road Trade

The China-Arab Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Park and the CAEXPO Excellent Products Exhibition and Sales Center of Nanning International Convention and Exhibition Center signed a strategic cooperation agreement. This aims to deepen economic and trade linkages between China and Arab countries, as well as China and ASEAN, exploring mutually beneficial cross-border cooperation paths. Both parties will establish a cross-regional economic and trade collaboration hub between China-Arab countries and ASEAN through resource sharing, channel interconnection, and product promotion. This will help enterprises expand into international markets and promote regional economic development.

As Northwest China's specialty products seek broader international exposure and ASEAN goods aim to penetrate the promising China-Arab markets, a landmark agreement signed on January 8 provides the solution. The strategic partnership between the China-Arab States Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Zone and the China-ASEAN Premium Products Exhibition Center establishes an efficient trade corridor that promises to inject new momentum into cross-border commerce.
