Building Stronger Bridges Between China & ASEAN
It has been another productive and meaningful day in Nanning, Guangxi, where I had the privilege of leading our delegation to China Zhenhua (中国振华) at the China–ASEAN Business Center.
As the Founder of the China-To-ASEAN Initiative and ASEAN-Connect Initiative, I firmly believe that the future of our region lies not only in stronger trade and investment, but also in building trusted partnerships that create long-term value for businesses on both sides.
Our discussions focused on several strategic areas, including industrial cooperation, cross-border investment, business matching, regional connectivity, and the rapidly growing global Halal economy. We also explored how internationally recognised JAKIM Halal Certification can create greater opportunities for qualified Chinese enterprises to enter Malaysia and the wider ASEAN market.
As the permanent host city of CAEXPO and CABIS, and with the upcoming completion of the Pinglu Canal, Nanning is well positioned to become one of China's most important strategic gateways to ASEAN. The opportunities ahead are immense, and I am excited to be part of this journey.
Through Communication 21 Media Group, together with our China-To-ASEAN Initiative, ASEAN-Connect Initiative, and the China-To-ASEAN Business Council, we remain committed to building practical platforms that connect governments, industries, and businesses, creating sustainable opportunities across the region.
This visit also reinforces our vision of leveraging Catalog Connect and AI Business Matching to connect China's supply with ASEAN's demand, making cross-border collaboration more efficient and creating new opportunities for enterprises throughout the region.
I would like to express my sincere appreciation to China Zhenhua, Guangxi International Expositions Group, and all our partners and friends in Guangxi for their warm hospitality and productive discussions.
This is just the beginning.
Together, we will continue building stronger bridges between China and ASEAN, creating lasting partnerships and shared prosperity for our region.
