Both Nanning and Davao pioneered industrialization and manufacturing, making them one of the progressive cities in the world.
Boosting the influx of tourism is also one of the goals of these cities to develop their local economies.
It was the municipality of Nanning who initiated the unification between Davao which consequently led to the signing of the agreement on March 29, 2006. Former Nanning Mayor Lin Guoqiang and former Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte signed the sister city agreement.
Just recently, Nanning donated buses for its sister city for the purpose of improving transportation systems and accommodating investors who wish to explore opportunities in Davao.
As the permanent destination for China-ASEAN trading, Nanning will always serve as the helping hand of Davao in promoting its local economy.
