2025 22nd China-ASEAN Expo

The China-ASEAN Expo (hereafter referred to as CAEXPO) is an international economic and trade event co-hosted by the trade and economic authorities of China and the 10 ASEAN countries, with Guangxi as the organizer. Since its inception in 2004, it has successfully held 21 sessions, witnessing the continuous enrichment of the strategic partnership between China and ASEAN. It has played a significant role in promoting economic cooperation and fostering cultural exchanges, contributing to the Belt and Road Initiative.

CAEXPO is centered on China-ASEAN cooperation while being open to global engagement. Since 2014, it has established an invited partner mechanism, inviting non-ASEAN countries to participate each year and organizing various specialized economic and trade activities. The expo has strengthened its collaboration with the World Trade Organization, with the WTO and the United Nations International Trade Centre being supporting units. The event has also attracted an increasing number of enterprises from outside the region to participate, facilitating China and ASEAN’s comprehensive participation in international economic cooperation and enhancing their influence on a global scale.
