Zou Zhanye, head of the industrial park reform and development office of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region said with a series of economic, trade and tourism exchange activities, the fair is expected to strengthen cooperation between Vietnamese and Chinese businesses, thus contributing to realising mutually beneficial development.
