BEIJING, Sept. 16 (Xinhua) — Trade between China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) posted robust growth in the first eight months of this year, driven by deepening cooperation in agriculture and manufacturing, data from the General Administration of Customs showed Tuesday.
As the department pointed out, China and ASEAN have been each other's largest trading partners for five years in a row, while ASEAN has maintained its status as China's largest partner in agricultural trade for eight years in a row.
In the first eight months of 2025, China's total trade with ASEAN countries grew 9.7 percent year-on-year to 4.93 trillion yuan (about $694 billion), setting a new record.
According to the GTU, trade volume between China and ASEAN has increased from over 870 billion yuan in 2004, when the first China-ASEAN Expo was held, to nearly 7 trillion yuan in 2024.
NTU spokesman Lu Dalian said that further expansion of bilateral cooperation is expected after the completion of negotiations on the establishment of China-ASEAN Free Trade Area 3.0.
The 22nd China-ASEAN EXPO will be held from September 17 to 21 in Nanning, capital of South China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. –0–
