Opportunities for cooperation and investment between Vietnam and China
Since the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement (RCEP) was implemented on January 1, 2022, trade between China and the 10 ASEAN countries and other four-party member countries has become closer. Central Europe Railway (Qilu) has opened new routes from Shandong to Hanoi, Vietnam, Vientiane, Laos, Luang Prabang, Laos and other Southeast Asian routes, regularly exploiting products and services such as “Japan-Korea high-speed train route”, “Shanghai cooperation high speed train”, “China-Laos international cargo ship”
Thanks to a series of preferential policies after the entry into force of RCEP, the effect of the Central Europe (Qilu) high-speed railway and the cargo aggregation effect continued to emerge, and a new channel for intermodal transport trade. RCEP protocol has been established. Today, we gather at Trang Bom station, Dong Nai province, Vietnam to witness the arrival of the first China high-speed railway Qilu·Shandong, China-Dong Nai, Vietnam.
This train is an important achievement of Shandong Express Group in actively responding to jointly building the “One Belt One Road” initiative and opening up a railway transport channel between Shandong province East and RCEP member countries to serve and ensure the full implementation of RCEP, cooperation is of great significance.
