HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam, June 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Guangzhou Arbitration
Commission (GZAC) has officially opened the Vietnam Liaison Office of the Guangzhou
International Arbitration Court in Ho Chi Minh City, marking a new step in strengthening
China–Vietnam arbitration cooperation and supporting businesses engaged in cross-
border commerce and investment.

The launch comes as economic ties between China and Vietnam continue to deepen. 
Bilateral trade exceeded US$250 billion in 2025, with Vietnam remaining China’s 
largest trading partner within ASEAN. Under the Belt and Road Initiative, cooperation
between the two countries has expanded across sectors including renewable energy,
digital economy, infrastructure and cross-border investment.

As commercial exchanges increase, so does demand for efficient, predictable and 
enforceable dispute resolution services. The Vietnam Liaison Office is designed 
to respond to this growing need by providing businesses with easier access to arbitration-
related information, procedural guidance and dispute resolution support.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Mark Feldman, President of the Guangzhou International
Arbitration Court, said the office reflects GZAC’s commitment to providing arbitration
services closer to users and supporting the evolving needs of companies operating
across borders.

Located in Ho Chi Minh City, the office will serve as a regional platform for Chinese
and Vietnamese businesses seeking professional dispute resolution services. It will
draw on GZAC’s experience in international arbitration, digital dispute resolution
and cross-border case administration.

GZAC has continued to expand its international presence in recent years. In 2025,
it handled 877 foreign-related cases with a total disputed amount exceeding US$1.8
billion. Parties came from 22 countries and regions, while the institution has served
users from 67 jurisdictions worldwide. Nearly 40 percent of the members of its current
arbitration committee are foreign nationals or professionals from Hong Kong and 
Macao, representing six jurisdictions.

GZAC is also a pioneer in digital dispute resolution. As one of the first official
global partners of the APEC Collaborative Framework for Online Dispute Resolution(
APEC-ODR), it operates an online dispute resolution platform that integrates negotiation,
mediation and arbitration services. The platform supports real-time translation 
in eight languages and has handled more than 1,000 cases involving claims exceeding
RMB10 billion.

Through its Vietnam Liaison Office, GZAC plans to deepen engagement with arbitration
institutions and legal service providers across Vietnam and ASEAN, contributing 
to a more efficient environment for cross-border trade and investment.
