The highlight of the program is the China - ASEAN Fair (CAEXPO), where Vietnam organizes the "Promoting Investment in Vietnam" booth with a special design, gathering many typical industrial parks. This is a testament to Vietnam's policy of innovation, openness and determination in strengthening international economic cooperation, developing the supply chain, and expanding the regional cooperation corridor. This event was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Mai Van Chinh and the high-ranking delegation of Vietnam.
In the series of events, Vietnam's industrial parks promoted their potential, preferential policies and cooperation opportunities in the fields of high technology, new energy, processing - manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and logistics. Many B2B trade sessions were held, directly connecting Vietnamese enterprises with large corporations and investors from China and ASEAN, opening up opportunities to form dynamic projects associated with the East-West Economic Corridor and the North-South Corridor.
In particular, the Industrial Park and Phu My Port (Gia Lai province) are a prominent bright spot. Located in a strategic position on the East-West Economic Corridor, Phu My concentrates advantages in international trade, connecting seaports - roads - air routes. With an area of over 820 hectares, the project is oriented towards multi-industry development, prioritizing clean industry, green energy (hydrogen, LNG, green am ammonia), mechanical engineering, goldsmithing, pharmaceuticals and modern logistics.
Mr. Phi Xuan Tuan, Vice President of Phu My Investment Group, emphasized: Participating in CAEXPO not only helps Phu My promote the image of a modern industrial park - seaport, but also affirms Gia Lai's pioneering role on the regional industrial - logistics map.
This is an important opportunity for Gia Lai to become a new growth pole of the Central - Central Highlands, directly linked to the East - West economic corridor, connecting Vietnam with ASEAN and China.
Participating in CAEXPO 2025 demonstrates Vietnam's determination in implementing the roadmap of innovation and comprehensive integration, affirming the image of a dynamic, creative country and a reliable destination for international investors. At the same time, this is also a strategic step to turn Gia Lai province - a land with great potential, a central location on the East - West corridor - into a new industrial - logistics center, contributing strongly to the country's economic development goals in the new period.
To make an impression at the fair, Gia Lai province has arranged 4 standard booths with modern and outstanding designs, both ensuring display functions and creating a space for exchange and connection with customers. The products selected for introduction are all specialties with export strengths such as coffee, pepper, macadamia, banana, durian, along with many deep-processed products from agricultural products.
Taking place from September 17 to 21, the 22nd CAEXPO Fair attracted more than 3,200 enterprises from 60 countries to participate in the exhibition with a total exhibition area of over 160,000m2, of which foreign booths accounted for more than 30%, introducing the latest cooperation results between ASEAN countries and China. In particular, for the first time, the CAEXPO Fair will organize an exhibition area on artificial intelligence (AI), new quality manufacturing power, green economy...
