Politically, China and Vietnam as fellow socialist countries have long been each other's "comrades and brothers" with shared common aspirations in pursuing socialist modernization, and have delivered impressive economic growth and political stability in their own paths. The two countries have engaged in close contact since the normalization of diplomatic relations in 1991, which has developed into a comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership.

Economically, the two countries have been close trading partners owing to the economic comparative advantages, geographic proximity and close diplomatic relations. China has been Vietnam's largest trading partner and important source of foreign direct investment. Despite COVID-19 disruptions, the bilateral trade continued to grow and reached $230.2 billion in 2021. With expanding domestic market of both sides, two-way trade would have greater prospects in the coming years.

"Successfully holding the Hainan expo will provide an important boost for the continued recovery of consumption," China's Vice Minister of Commerce Wang Shouwen said at the opening ceremony of the expo.
