Xie Xiaohui, Director of Nansha Bureau of Commerce, said, "Nansha Port and Beibu Gulf city clusters are geographically close to each other, and their industries are highly complementary. The two regions will strengthen cooperation in such fields as advanced manufacturing and modern services, and jointly build the largest hub for reform and opening up in South China.”
"The cooperation is in line with China’s strategy to develop the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and is expected to deepen the Guangdong-Guangxi cooperation. It will further the infrastructure and industrial connection between two regions while helping traders to expanding both the domestic and overseas markets,” said Dou Xilin, a senior of Commerce Department of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.
