The China–ASEAN Expo stands out as a truly distinctive international fair, widely acclaimed by political and business leaders in both China and ASEAN countries. Among more than 6,000 exhibitions nationwide, it is the only one regularly attended by senior Chinese leaders at the level of members of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, ranking alongside the Boao Forum for Asia and the Summer Davos Forum as a first‑class national event.

The Expo features a dedicated Investment Cooperation Pavilion, which hosts over 80 ASEAN investment promotion events covering areas such as international industrial capacity cooperation, international engineering contracting, labor services, resource development, information technology, energy exploitation, infrastructure construction, park‑level investment attraction, as well as sectors like railways, non‑ferrous metals, power, and agriculture. It serves as an ideal platform for China, ASEAN, and countries along the Belt and Road to unveil their investment climates and policies, pursue capacity‑building partnerships, and align investment projects. In addition, the Expo convenes high‑level, multi‑sectoral cooperation forums spanning more than 40 fields—including customs, inspection and quarantine, finance, logistics, and information technology—where participants can establish collaborative mechanisms through dialogue, facilitate project implementation, and jointly capitalize on the opportunities presented by the Belt and Road Initiative.

Under the theme “Innovation and Upgrading,” the China–ASEAN Expo places particular emphasis on the deep integration of information technology, intelligent systems, and manufacturing, aiming to drive industrial upgrading through technological innovation. This initiative further strengthens China–ASEAN cooperation in industrial capacity and equipment manufacturing, while placing greater focus on enhancing the technological content and added value of export products.

The China–ASEAN Expo vigorously promotes trade in services, effectively guides and supports enterprises in expanding overseas to engage in capacity‑building and investment collaborations, thereby forging supply chains and value chains that are more integrated, more dynamic, and benefit a broader range of stakeholders.
