Philippines to take center stage as country of honor at 2026 China–ASEAN Expo

The Philippines is taking center stage in China! As Country of Honor at the 23rd China–ASEAN Expo, the Philippines will bring the best of its products, tourism, culture and investment opportunities to Nanning from September 17 to 21, 2026. Adding even more color to the spotlight, Cebu—celebrated for its world-famous beaches, vibrant festivals, rich heritage and dynamic economy—will shine as the expo’s “Province of Charm.” More than a showcase, the Philippine participation opens doors to new markets, business partnerships, cultural understanding and stronger people-to-people ties. For five exciting days, Filipino creativity, enterprise and hospitality will meet China and the wider ASEAN region—turning curiosity into connection and opportunity into friendship.
