Vice Chairman of the Quang Ninh provincial People’s Committee Cao Tuong Huy highlighted the significant export-import turnover through the province’s border gates, exceeding 4.4 billion USD. Notable milestones include the launch of the Hoanh Mo (Vietnam) – Dong Zhong (China) border gate pair and the Bac Phong Sinh (Vietnam) – Li He (China) customs clearance route, alongside the resumption of the Beihai (China) – Ha Long (Vietnam) maritime tourism route. Regular cultural, sports exchanges, and trade fairs have further cemented these bonds.

Vice Governor of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Liao Pinhu, meanwhile, suggested enhancing training support for Vietnamese personnel, especially in artificial intelligence and smart city development.

He also advocated for establishing a joint operational mechanism at border tourism sites, including Ban Gioc Waterfall, one of the most breathtaking natural wonders straddling the shared border. The Vice Governor also supports the restoration of maritime tourism routes like Fangchenggang – Ha Long and Beihai – Ha Long./.
