Nanning, China – May 22, 2025 – As part of its ongoing efforts to strengthen economic ties with China, a delegation from the Vietnam Global E-Commerce Association (VGECA) arrived in Nanning this week to participate in the International Mineral Expo. The visit highlights Vietnam’s strategic push to find international markets for its mineral resources, foster trade partnerships, and attract foreign investment.
Serving as a bridge between Vietnamese exporters and Chinese buyers, the VGECA delegation is focused on showcasing Vietnam’s growing capacity in the mineral sector. The group is holding direct talks with potential partners, government representatives, and investors at the event, which is one of Asia’s most prominent platforms for mineral trade and industrial collaboration.
“We are here not only to promote Vietnamese minerals but also to build long-term commercial relationships and investment opportunities,” a VGECA spokesperson said. “The Chinese market is critical for us, and this expo provides the ideal setting to connect, negotiate, and grow.”
The International Mineral Expo in Nanning gathers companies, associations, and policymakers from across Asia and beyond. With an increasing global demand for raw materials, Vietnam is positioning itself as a competitive, reliable source of key minerals, from rare earths to industrial ores.
The delegation’s participation aligns with Vietnam’s broader trade strategy, which includes boosting digital commerce, expanding cross-border partnerships, and integrating deeper into global supply chains. VGECA officials emphasized that the mission is part of a larger initiative to transform Vietnam’s mineral exports from raw materials to high-value industrial products through technology and sustainable investment.
