Old friends arrive as scheduled, new friends flock in, and it's another year's appointment to enter the PhD. As the world's first national level exhibition with an import theme, the China International Import Expo has entered its seventh year. From China's one-way invitation to the world, to the common agreement of China and the world to go both ways, the open cake is expanding, the list of cooperation is lengthening, and the concept of sharing is sublimating. The "four leaf clover" has witnessed China and the world writing a new chapter of mutual benefit, win-win cooperation, and shared future together in the new era. Since its opening in 2018, the CIIE has enhanced the depth, speed, and breadth of enterprises from various countries' integration and rooting in the Chinese market, from sharing the "big cake" in the shopping cart to exploring new quality productivity opportunities together. It has also given them more opportunities to connect with the world. The exhibition hall has a larger area and more participating companies, making this year's Oriental Convention more attractive. 3496 exhibitors from 129 countries and regions crossed mountains and seas to attend the appointment, with more countries (regions) and companies than the previous edition; 297 Fortune 500 companies and industry leaders participated in the exhibition, setting a new historical high; The exhibition area of cultural exchange activities exceeds 32000 square meters, which is the largest in history... These figures reflect that in recent years, the Chinese market has expanded and improved, bringing broader development space for enterprises from various countries to expand trade, invest and develop industries, and innovate applications. From global new products, cutting-edge technologies to innovative services, this year's CIIE is even more innovative, showcasing over 400 representative new products, technologies, and services. The newly established New Materials Zone brings together Fortune 500 companies and industry leaders from the United States, Germany, Japan, Singapore, and other countries. High value-added products such as electronic materials, biomaterials, and specialty materials are showcased here, and technology and economy are deeply integrated. Through the "new elements" and "new faces", people see the innovation power of the CIIE platform and the vitality of the Chinese market. China's new quality productivity, driven by innovation and marked by the improvement of total factor productivity, is forming a new attraction in the global economic landscape. Along the way, the CIIE has been constantly rejuvenated, but some characteristics have remained unchanged. The determination and attitude of China to open up, integrate and seek common development with the world remain consistent. The CIIE is a vivid example of the saying 'the more China develops, the more open it becomes', witnessing that the door to China's opening is getting wider and wider. The China International Import Expo has always fulfilled China's commitment to the world - "The China International Import Expo should not only be held every year, but also strive to achieve excellence, effectiveness, and better results. A series of major reform measures are gradually being implemented, and fruitful economic and trade cooperation achievements continue to inject energy into the world economy. Deloitte China Chairman Jiang Ying said, "Through the CIIE as a bridge, we believe that China will unwaveringly promote high-level opening up to the outside world, welcome global investors with a more open attitude, and strongly support Chinese enterprises to go global, injecting more vitality into the global economy. China's sincerity and vision for win-win cooperation and shared future with the world will be consistent. The CIIE, held annually, has become a window for China to build a new development pattern, a platform for promoting high-level openness, and an international public product shared globally. Over the past six years, it has attracted exhibitors from more than 100 countries and regions each year, with a total of over 10000 overseas companies participating and an intended transaction volume exceeding 420 billion US dollars. More and more stories of entering the Bo market have become a vivid portrayal of the Chinese market as a "global market, shared market, and everyone's market". In the first three quarters of this year, China's total import and export value exceeded 32 trillion yuan for the first time in history, and China's trade with more than 160 countries and regions around the world achieved growth. Secretary General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, Greenspan, said that China's hosting of the CIIE, with an open spirit, connects global enterprises, establishes partnerships, and jointly builds a more prosperous and interconnected global economy. China's imports and exports are having a profound impact around the world. China will unswervingly fulfill its responsibility as a major country, and promote the development achievements to benefit the people of all countries more and more equitably. As a member of the global South, China has always been a firm supporter, active participant, and important contributor to South South cooperation. Since its inception, the CIIE has been providing various benefits and conveniences to the least developed countries. This year's CIIE provides more than 120 free booths for 37 least developed countries, further expands the African product zone in the food and agricultural product exhibition area, and holds a sub forum on "Sustainable Development in the Global South and China Africa Cooperation"... China has opened up new opportunities for the least developed countries and developing countries with practical actions. Sorenge Murekazi, founder of Rwanda's Aux Paradise Honey Company, said that this is not only the opening of the Chinese market, but also a strong support for the economic development of Africa. Under the concept of "benefiting the world" at the CIIE, there are no "forgotten corners" in the world. The environment is changing, but the original intention remains unchanged; Forms are changing, beliefs remain unchanged; Between change and constancy, the four major platforms of the CIIE, namely international procurement, investment promotion, cultural exchange, and open cooperation, have become increasingly prominent, and the global shared international public product attributes have become clearer. Through openness, we achieve mutual success, and through cooperation, we create the future together. This mutually beneficial agreement is worth the efforts of China and the world every year.
