Beijing, November 1 (Xinhua) — Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian stated on November 1 that China is willing to take the CIIE as an opportunity to work with all parties to expand the cake of openness, extend the list of cooperation, and share the opportunities of China’s large market with all countries, benefiting millions of people.
At the regular press conference on that day, a reporter asked: The 7th China International Import Expo will open next week, and all preparatory work is basically ready at present. According to statistics, 297 Fortune 500 companies and industry leaders, as well as nearly 800 procurement groups from multiple countries, participated in the exhibition, setting a new record in history. How does the spokesperson evaluate the significance of this year’s CIIE for China to expand its high-level opening-up to the outside world?
Lin Jian said that hosting the China International Import Expo is an important measure for China to expand its independent opening-up and a practical action to promote the construction of an open world economy. The data fully demonstrates the attractiveness of China’s super large market, reflects the strong confidence of the international community in China’s economic development prospects, and also demonstrates the common willingness of all parties to achieve mutual benefit and win-win through open cooperation.
Lin Jian stated that since its first hosting in 2018, the China International Import Expo (CIIE) has continuously upgraded and expanded, becoming a window for China to build a new development pattern and a platform for promoting high-level openness. The CIIE’s “circle of friends” has become increasingly large, and its role as an international public good has become more prominent. This year’s CIIE provides support for 37 least developed countries to participate in national and corporate exhibitions, further expanding the African product zone in the food and agricultural product exhibition areas, and allowing more developing countries to participate in the inclusive process of economic globalization.
Openness is the core concept of the China International Import Expo (CIIE) and a distinctive symbol of contemporary China’s development. China is achieving high-quality development by promoting high-level opening up to the outside world, “said Lin Jian.” We are willing to take the CIIE as an opportunity to work with all parties to expand the cake of openness, extend the list of cooperation, and enable countries to share and benefit every household from the opportunities of China’s large market
