On the afternoon of April 17th, Premier Li Qiang held a discussion with representatives of overseas buyers attending the 135th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) in Guangzhou. Heads of overseas enterprises such as IKEA, Wal Mart, Koppel, Lulu International, Meierzhen, Arzum, Xiangniao, Auchan, Shengpai, Kesco, Changyou, etc. were present. The representative of the overseas purchaser introduced his experience of strengthening cooperation with China through the Canton Fair, stating that for a long time, the China Canton Fair has played an important role in promoting trade and friendly relations between China and countries around the world. All parties are full of confidence in the prospects of China's economic development and are willing to use the Canton Fair as a platform to continue expanding their operations in China, making positive contributions to promoting free trade and maintaining global supply chain stability. Entrepreneurs also put forward opinions and suggestions on developing circular economy and green economy, optimizing business environment in China, and strengthening personnel exchanges between China and foreign countries. Li Qiang carefully listened to everyone's speeches and appreciated their active participation in the Canton Fair and vigorous economic and trade cooperation with China for a long time. Li Qiang stated that since its establishment in 1957, the Canton Fair has gone through ups and downs without interruption. Many overseas enterprises have formed ties with China through the Canton Fair and have grown and grown along with China's development. The history of the Canton Fair is also a history of enterprises from various countries sharing China's opportunities and achieving mutual benefit. It is a microcosm of China's continuous expansion of opening up and active integration into the international market. Looking towards the future, China will steadfastly expand high-level opening-up to the outside world, promote trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, continue to inject more stability into global trade and the world economy with its own development certainty, and provide broader space for the development of enterprises in various countries. Li Qiang pointed out that for a long time, overseas enterprises have made positive contributions to promoting economic and trade cooperation between China and the world, connecting Chinese manufacturing with overseas markets, and promoting efficient matching of global supply and demand. We hope that everyone will continue to deepen their cultivation in the Chinese market, expand their business in China, better share the huge market demand and open development opportunities in China, and become friendly ambassadors for enhancing mutual understanding and mutually beneficial cooperation between China and foreign countries. China will accelerate the integration of high standard international economic and trade rules, continuously expand market access, implement national treatment for foreign-funded enterprises, strengthen foreign investment service guarantees and intellectual property protection, effectively safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of foreign-funded enterprises in China, and provide more support and convenience for international business personnel and foreign work and life in China.
