On November 5, the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) opened in Shanghai. Speaking at the opening ceremony, leaders of many countries and heads of international organizations stated that the expo fully demonstrates China's openness, inclusiveness, and responsibility as a major country. China's super-large market offers significant development opportunities for countries around the world and contributes to advancing the common development and prosperity of countries in the Global South.
Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze expressed his appreciation for the open cooperation platform established at the CIIE. He stated that the exhibition plays a vital role in promoting the development of all countries and the formation of a more open and resilient global economy, reflecting China's efforts to foster mutually beneficial cooperation between countries. China is an important trading partner for Georgia, and China's increased openness offers significant opportunities for the development of Georgian enterprises. In recent years, cooperation between the two countries in areas such as energy, transport, and tourism has steadily deepened. Georgia intends to fully leverage its geographical advantages, continue to deepen its strategic partnership with China, and expand bilateral cooperation in various fields.
Serbian Prime Minister Djuro Macut stated that the free trade agreement between Serbia and China opens up enormous opportunities for promoting trade between the two countries, allowing more Serbian products to enter China's massive market of 1.4 billion people. Serbia is ready to further strengthen its "iron friendship" with China, develop a comprehensive strategic partnership, and advance bilateral cooperation. Serbia participates in the CIIE annually, and the scale of its participation is expanding. This year, at EXPO Serbia will more fully showcase its economic and investment potential, focusing on promoting products in sectors such as the food industry and tourism. The country will maintain its presence in this market.
Nigerian House of Representatives Speaker Tajudeen Abbas stated that the CIIE demonstrates the important role of trade in overcoming regional differences and building bridges between countries, and reflects China's commitment to sharing opportunities and prosperity with the world. Relations between Nigeria and China are rapidly developing, and bilateral cooperation in areas such as transportation, communications, energy, and manufacturing has achieved significant results. China's continued deepening cooperation with Nigeria and African countries in general offers enormous prospects.
Slovenian State Council Speaker Marko Lotrich noted that the Import Expo is the world's first national exhibition dedicated to imports, bringing together businesses and investors from around the world to exchange ideas, technologies, and generate new business opportunities. Participation in the exhibition gives Slovenian companies the opportunity to showcase their products and expand their international connections. He described the CIIE as a bridge that fosters international dialogue, strengthens ties between countries, and promotes shared development.
In her video address, Rebecca Grynspan, Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), noted that the CIIE opens up new opportunities for exhibitors from developing countries: here, market access truly translates into real market presence—all of which demonstrates the power of trade to create opportunities. By promoting openness and cooperation, China offers all countries, especially developing countries, the opportunity to share in the fruits of development.
