CCTV News: According to the official account of "China Trade Promotion", the head of the Industrial Promotion Department of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade answered questions from reporters on the New Year visit of the Chinese entrepreneur delegation.

A reporter asked: After the Spring Festival holiday, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade organized a intensive visit to entrepreneur delegations, which attracted widespread attention. Can you give a detailed introduction to the scale, results of recent activities and their positive significance for global economic and trade cooperation?

A: In recent years, Chinese companies have strong willingness to expand overseas markets and promote international cooperation in the industrial chain and supply chain. In order to actively promote the deepening of exchanges and cooperation between China and foreign business communities, within just half a month after the Spring Festival, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade organized a total of 8 batches of entrepreneur delegations to Kazakhstan, Germany, South Africa, Egypt, Ethiopia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other countries to carry out economic and trade activities. Chinese companies are enthusiastic about joining the delegation. More than 200 Chinese companies are participating in the delegation, with a total of more than 300 people. During our visit, we held a total of 35 economic and trade exchange activities and hundreds of corporate business negotiations. The foreign willingness to cooperate exceeded expectations, with more than 600 companies and institutions participating, and 33 cooperation intention agreements reached, covering multiple fields such as finance, energy, infrastructure, automobile manufacturing, and digital economy, fully demonstrating the strong desire and broad prospects of pragmatic cooperation, mutual benefit and win-win results in the Chinese and foreign business communities. In particular, as an important platform for promoting international cooperation in the industrial chain and supply chain, the Chain Expo has been actively recognized and widely participated by more and more countries, especially industrial and commercial enterprises.

During the visit and exchange, we fully felt that the more difficult the moment, the more determined the global business community will be to work together and win-win cooperation. This is the greatest certainty and positive energy to check and balance the many uncertain factors of global economic development. The noise of a few unilateralism and protectionism cannot interfere with the main theme of countries around the world working together to promote inclusive and inclusive economic globalization.

In the next step, the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade will continue to organize Chinese enterprises to go abroad. We welcome private enterprises and small and medium-sized enterprises to actively participate, deepen communication and exchanges with the industrial and commercial circles of countries around the world, carry out pragmatic cooperation, achieve win-win cooperation, jointly oppose trade protectionism, firmly support trade and investment liberalization and facilitation, and maintain the security, stability and smooth operation of the global industrial chain and supply chain.
