In recent years, trade relations between Vietnam and China have made substantial strides, contributing to the economic growth of both nations. China is now Vietnam's largest import market, while Vietnam ranks as China’s fourth-largest trading partner and ASEAN’s most prominent contributor to China-ASEAN trade. Bilateral trade between Vietnam and China accounts for about 25% of China’s total trade within the ASEAN region.
As Vietnam's leading port operator and logistics provider, SNP processes over 55% of Vietnam’s import-export container market share through its port facilities. SNP has forged highly effective partnerships with major Chinese shipping and logistics companies, including Cosco, SITC, CU Lines, Shanghai Jinjiang, Hede, Sinotrans, Taicang, and Ningbo.
