At the Nanning Wuxu International Airport in south China’s Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Chinese goods are gathered and shipped to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries through the international departure channel of the cargo terminal. On the other side, batches of aquatic products and fresh tropical fruits from ASEAN countries arrive at the airport and are distributed across China.
This bustling exchange has transformed the airport into a vital hub connecting China and ASEAN countries, serving as an important window for Nanning’s opening up and development.
In a bid to promote exchanges and mutual learning between Chinese and foreign cities, as well as foster in-depth and practical economic, trade, and cultural cooperation, the Global Mayors Dialogue · Nanning is being held from Wednesday to Saturday in the city of Nanning.
The dialogue, attended by government officials, experts, and scholars from 12 provinces and cities in eight countries—China, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam—issued the Nanning Initiative on Thursday. The initiative calls for efforts to deepen friendly exchanges, enhance economic and trade cooperation, and strengthen people-to-people bonds between cities.
