These moves aim to boost practical cooperation between the two sides.
Guangxi also took the opportunity to promote a seven-day in-depth border tour route. It further arranged for the Vietnamese delegation to inspect tourism routes in Baise and Chongzuo, laying a solid foundation for future cross-border tourism collaboration.
