Notably, on February 19, 2025 in Hanoi, within the framework of the high-level talks between the Minister of Industry and Trade of Vietnam and the leaders of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (China), the Department of Industry and Trade of Quang Ninh signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Department of Commerce of Guangxi on cooperation in developing the manufacturing industry. This agreement opens up many important cooperation contents: Sharing legal information, orientation for industrial park development, training of staff, supporting enterprises in production linkage and developing sustainable industrial models... This is a strategic step, helping to connect businesses of both sides, forming a cross-border value chain and deepening the comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership between Vietnam and China.
Promoting the leading role in supporting the business community in international economic integration, the Department of Industry and Trade of Quang Ninh has regularly organized and supported the province's enterprises to participate in seminars, conferences, and talks such as: "Business Coffee", CAEXPO international fairs; issued propaganda documents, disseminated the content of FTAs...

Thereby, contributing to improving the ability of enterprises to quickly respond to changes in global trade policies, while expanding the export market connection channel effectively and promptly.
Thanks to the synchronous implementation of support solutions, many enterprises in the province have effectively taken advantage of tariff incentives from free trade agreements (FTAs). By the end of May 2025, 35 enterprises had been supported to carry out procedures to export new products such as seafood, knitted fabrics, flower tea, etc. to potential markets such as the US, Norway, Switzerland, and Taiwan, in order to enjoy incentives under the FTAs that Vietnam has signed.

Import turnover is estimated at 2.195 billion USD, up 15.8% over the same period. This is a positive signal, affirming the effectiveness of the international economic integration strategy.
