The China-Asean Expo has built a bridge of cooperation and exchange between China and Brunei
Sail south along the coast from Guangxi in China, through the South China Sea, and on the northern shore of Borneo in Southeast Asia lies the beautiful and mysterious country of Brunei.
China and Brunei enjoy a long history of relations. "Brunei has been an important part of the Maritime Silk Road since ancient times. As early as the Western Han Dynasty in China, our ancestors used this maritime link to exchange needed goods and wrote a beautiful chapter of mutual understanding, fellowship and amity."
Since the establishment of diplomatic ties, China-China relations have been developing steadily with frequent high-level exchanges and remarkable achievements in cooperation in the fields of economy, trade, culture, education and tourism. In the economic and trade cooperation between China and Brunei, the China-Asean Expo (Expo East) has built a bridge between economic and trade cooperation and people-to-people exchanges.
Looking back, hand in hand, deep friendship
The Brunei government attaches great importance to the East Fair. It has actively participated in the East Fair all past years, bringing its own characteristic products and services to China and the world through the channel of the East Fair.

With the help of the Expo, the exchanges and cooperation between Guangxi and Brunei have developed rapidly. In September 2014, the Memorandum of Understanding on Economic and Trade Cooperation in the Brunei-Guangxi Economic Corridor was signed in Nanning, and the two sides have carried out comprehensive cooperation in various fields. In February 2017, a joint venture between Guangxi Beibu Gulf International Port Group and Brunei Darussalam Asset Management Co., LTD, Brunei Morra Port Co., LTD, was inaugurated. In addition, Guangxi and Brunei have many cooperation projects in tropical fruit, vegetable and rice cultivation, offshore aquaculture, eco-tourism and agriculture. Since 2020, Guangxi Walter mandarin has entered the ASEAN market through Chinese-language cooperation.
Looking forward to the future, win-win cooperation and further development
Brunei has effectively promoted its own goods and services through the Expo and further explored the Chinese market. In August of this year, Chinese Ambassador to Brunei Yu Hong published a signed article on China-Brunei relations in China Daily, which summarized the great and happy events between the two countries in recent years and looked forward to the future cooperation and friendly exchanges between the two countries. "There will surely be more important and happy events in China-China relations, and the friendship between the two countries will continue to write new chapters," the article said. The Chinese people and the Chinese people have always enjoyed a deep friendship, which comes from the friendly cooperation between the two countries, and it has also boosted the further development of bilateral relations.
In September, the green city of Nanning is about to usher in the 19th East Expo. Let us look forward to more wonderful events at the 19th East Expo, which will be held from September 16 to 19, 2022. Let us also look forward to the East Expo continuing to play its role as an important platform for China-Asean cooperation, and continue to facilitate friendly exchanges and practical cooperation between China and Brunei.
