Why in news
Chinese President Xi Jinping began a Southeast Asia tour, starting with Vietnam, to strengthen trade ties.
He warned that protectionism and trade wars benefit no one and harm global cooperation.
Xi’s trip includes visits to Vietnam, Malaysia, and Cambodia — all key regional trade partners.
Xi called for protecting global supply chains and maintaining an open trading system.
Vietnam’s leader, To Lam, expressed readiness to work closely with China for balanced and sustainable development.
In 2024, Vietnam was the largest Southeast Asian importer of Chinese goods, followed by Malaysia.
