Following the call by central authorities to build the 21 Century Maritime Silk Road, the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region government is taking a range of measures to boost economic cooperation with Southeast Asian countries.

"We will deepen industrial cooperation with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, particularly in port-related industries, manufacturing, machine building, marine industries, mining, agriculture, tourism and finance," said Chen Wu, chairman of Guangxi.
