NANJING, Aug. 6 (Xinhua) — A signboard unveiling ceremony for the China-Central Asia Flowing Trade Cooperation Platform was held in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province, on Tuesday.
It is known that this 23,000 square meter platform is designed to play the role of an important bridge and link to promote exchanges and cooperation between China and Central Asia, with functions such as promoting trade cooperation, facilitating industrial interaction, and strengthening communication and exchanges.
There is an exhibition hall, national pavilions of five Central Asian countries, a goods display hall, trade missions of Central Asian countries and other countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, as well as an office area for enterprises and organizations with foreign capital.
Assistant Minister of Commerce of the People's Republic of China Yuan Xiaoming noted that trade and economic cooperation between China and the Central Asian countries is characterized by a wide range, enormous potential and excellent prospects.
The ministry will work with Jiangsu authorities to attract more enterprises to the platform and strive to build a high-quality cooperation platform that is focused on cooperation with other provinces in the country as well as the five Central Asian countries, he added.
Let us recall that the predecessor of this platform was the Center for Central Asian Countries in Jiangsu, which was created by the holding corporation Jiangsu SOHO Holdings Group Co., Ltd together with the government of Xuanwu District of Nanjing.
