An exchange meeting between Japanese enterprises and Guangxi took place both online and on-site in Nanning, capital of Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, attracting representatives of more than 50 prestigious Japanese enterprises, including Mitsubishi and Orix.

The meeting, held by the People's Government of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, is one of the major investment promotion events of the China-ASEAN Expo and was first held in 2021.

This year's event focused on jointly sharing and exploring new economic and trade cooperation opportunities brought by the RCEP via CAEXPO, aiming to deepen exchanges between Guangxi and Japanese enterprises, associations, as well as institutions, which will bolster industrial cooperation and economic and trade exchanges between Guangxi and Japan.

Xu Xianhui, vice chairman of Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, noted that Guangxi is willing to team with Japan in deepening cooperation in industry, supply chains, and in constructing major infrastructure projects.

Officials of the Investment Promotion Bureau of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Liuzhou, and Chongzhou discussed investment promotion during the event, noting that Guangxi and Japan share a strong foundation in carrying out industrial cooperation in the equipment manufacturing, new materials, and biomedicine industries.

The CAEXPO Secretariat signed memorandums of friendship and cooperation with four famous Japanese business associations and institutions to deepen exchanges and cooperation.

More events, such as government-enterprise dialogues, economic and trade matchmaking, project signings, academic research, and on-site tours, will be held during this year's CAEXPO.
