The Nanning international railway port integrates multimodal transport by air, sea, highway and railway. The completed project of railway port has helped push forward China's trade with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).
China and ASEAN were among the first to open "fast tracks" and "green lanes" to facilitate flows of people and goods and support economic recovery. Despite contracting global trade, economic recession and serious disruptions to travel, China-ASEAN two-way trade went up in the first three quarters, and Chinese investment in ASEAN countries surged more than 70 percent year on year.
