A featured exhibition on products transported on the Kuantan Port-Beibu Gulf Port-Sichuan-Chongqing multimodal shipping route was recently held in Qinzhou, Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region.

Guangxi and Pahang, Malaysia, share a long history of cooperation and exchanges. An example of this is the "Two Countries, Twin Parks" initiative, which is located in Qinzhou and Pahang.

After 10 years of construction and development, the Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park has brought in many Chinese enterprises, creating nearly 20,000 job opportunities. It has become a flagship and benchmark project for China-Malaysia investment cooperation under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative.

Kuantan Port's new deep water terminal, which was invested in by Guangxi Beibu Gulf Port Group, was put into operation in 2018. Currently, two 150,000-metric-ton deep water berths have been built, which increase the port's handling capacity from 26 million tons to 52 million tons. This makes the port the largest professional public bulk cargo terminal in the east coast of Malaysia.

The Kuantan Port-Beibu Gulf Port-Sichuan-Chongqing multimodal shipping route opened in early April and the Kuantan Distribution Center of the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor was also inaugurated at that time. It provides logistics services for Pahang enterprises during the whole shipping process.

In addition, Beibu Gulf Port Group signed a memorandum of cooperation with the Pahang Agricultural Products and Ecotourism Association, aiming to strengthen cooperation between the two sides in distinctive agricultural products logistics services, trade, and ecotourism.

It is expected that Beibu Gulf Port Group will give full play to its logistics advantages in ports at both ends of Guangxi and Pahang. It will provide full-course logistics services for interconnection between Phang's agricultural products and West China's specialty products.
