The 18th China-ASEAN Expo (CAEXPO) will continue to set up exhibition areas focused on the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor and the Beibu Gulf International Gateway Port, the CAEXPO Secretariat said on March 9.

The CAEXPO has formed a working mechanism and cooperation channels for promoting connections between China and ASEAN. It has held a series of activities promoting cooperation between provinces and cities in West China and ASEAN countries, providing an important cooperation and exchange platform for the construction of the land-sea trade corridor.

The Beibu Gulf Port has been listed as an international hub port in China's comprehensive three-dimensional transport plan together with 10 other ports in the country including Shanghai Port, Shenzhen Port and Guangzhou Port.
