Deputy Prime Minister Tran Luu Quang's visit to Yunnan province took place not long after Yunnan Provincial Party Secretary Wang Ning's visit to Vietnam and attendance at the 3rd annual conference between the Provincial Party Secretaries of Ha Giang , Lao Cai, Lai Chau, Dien Bien (Vietnam) and Yunnan Provincial Party Secretary (China) in late March 2023.

During meetings with senior leaders and the Vietnamese Foreign Minister, Provincial Party Secretary Vuong Ninh affirmed that Yunnan attaches special importance to friendly exchanges and mutually beneficial cooperation with Vietnamese ministries, branches and localities, and wishes to work with the Vietnamese side to well implement the common perceptions of senior leaders of the two Parties and two countries; and promote the bilateral relationship to continue to develop in depth.

The China-South Asia Expo and the Kunming Import and Export Fair aim to promote the opening up of Yunnan Province - an important gateway to Southwest China, with a population of about 200 million people and an important geopolitical position in the strategy of the Chinese Government. This is the most important economic and political event in Southwest China, and has received significant investment from the Chinese Government.

The 6th China-South Asia Expo and the 26th Kunming Import and Export Fair, taking place from November 19-22, 2022, will be held in a combined online and offline format, with some adjustments to meet the requirements of Covid-19 prevention and control.
