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.

Guangzhou, November 9 (Xinhua) — Chinese President Xi Jinping met Sunday with International Olympic Committee (IOC) President Kirsty Coventry and its Honorary President for Life Thomas Bach. The meeting took place in Guangzhou, capital of Guangdong Province in southern China.

K. Coventry and T. Bach arrived in China to participate in the opening ceremony of the 15th All-China Spartakiad.

Xi Jinping noted that the Olympic spirit is an important element of human civilization, embodies people's aspirations for a better world, and is highly consistent with the Chinese concept of building a community with a shared future for mankind.

"China has consistently and firmly put the Olympic spirit into practice, upholding and promoting it," Xi Jinping said, adding that in recent years, China and the IOC have supported each other in developing sports and, through joint efforts, have achieved many great and worthy achievements.

"Earlier this year, we gathered in snowy and icy Harbin for the Asian Winter Games. Today, we meet again in the spring-like warmth of Guangzhou for the All-China Spartakiad. This speaks to the strong and close partnership between China and the IOC," the Chinese President noted.

According to him, the Chinese side intends to deepen high-level cooperation with the IOC, promote the development of the Olympic movement, simultaneously transform China into a strong sports power, bring more wisdom and strength to global sports governance, and make further contributions to building a community with a shared future for mankind.

Xi Jinping said that the All-China Spartakiad is the largest multi-sport event of the highest level in China, which this year is jointly hosted by Guangdong Province and the special administrative regions of Hong Kong and Macao.

Noting that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area is one of China's regions with the greatest degree of external opening-up and economic activity, the Chinese President pointed out that the goal of developing this region is to turn it into a strategic pillar of China's new development architecture, a demonstration zone for high-quality development, and a pioneer of Chinese-style modernization.

Xi Jinping expressed confidence that the current All-China Spartakiad will showcase not only the country's new sporting achievements in the new era, but also the diverse achievements of Chinese-style modernization in the Greater Bay Area.

K. Coventry and T. Bach, for their part, expressed admiration for the opportunity to be in Guangzhou and witness the vibrant dynamics and colossal successes of Chinese modernization in the Greater Bay Area.

Commending China's active commitment to the Olympic spirit and its significant contributions to the Olympic movement, they stated that the IOC is grateful to China for its long-standing and strong support and hopes to continuously strengthen cooperation with China to jointly promote the development of the Olympic movement and further spread the Olympic spirit throughout the world, so as to strengthen unity among people and promote world peace.

SHANGHAI, Nov. 9 (Xinhua) — At the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE), Kazakhstan, known for its agro-industrial complex, is displaying a wide range of products, including sausages, chocolate, ice cream, fruit juice and dairy products, attracting numerous visitors, as well as buyers and industry professionals.

Sixty-five companies from Kazakhstan are participating in the current exhibition, which is taking place from November 5 to 10 in the eastern Chinese city of Shanghai, the CIIE Bureau reported.

Karat TOO Marketing Manager Asiya Otelbay said, "This year we're just entering the Chinese market and participating in this exhibition for the first time." Having received permission to sell in China, the company is currently successfully undergoing laboratory quality testing for its products ready for export, she added.

"We primarily supply first- and second-grade flour to China. We are currently making our first shipment of premium flour to Yiwu (Zhejiang Province, eastern China), which will be completed this month," said Asiya Otelbay.

She also stated: “We expect to enter into contracts and find trade distributors to distribute our products online, that is, in supermarkets and stores.”

At the stand of the company “Fruit Lab”, participating in CIIE, the apple puree attracted the attention of visitors with its original packaging design.

According to company volunteer Adil Abdikarim, in Almaty, a city always associated with apples, apple trees grow in mountain forests or specially designated areas. Because of this, the fruit is considered more natural and juicy than those grown elsewhere.

“We supply applesauce to China, completely natural, without any chemicals or additives,” he said.

According to him, due to the advantage in quality and taste, the annual volume of exports to China is about five tons.

"At the previous two similar exhibitions, we found a very large number of partners with whom we are currently actively negotiating and maintaining close ties. We hope to find the right buyers and intermediaries this year who will provide competitively priced delivery between Kazakhstan and Shanghai, as well as all other points of sale," said Adil Abdikarim.

Bizhan Meat Processing Plant LLC, represented in the "Made in Almaty" pavilion, participated in CIIE for the first time in 2018. "We had representatives from many trading houses and restaurants come to see us. Getting to know them is a great benefit for the company," noted the company's Deputy General Director, Bakytzhan Kadirberdiev.

Shin-Line LLC, which is participating in the CIIE for the third time, is presenting its various brands of ice cream, popsicles, and ice cream at this year's exhibition.

According to the company's China Sales Director, Oleg Akulinin, they began supplying products to the Chinese market in 2017 and now export approximately 100 tons of products to China annually. He stated that their company's ice cream is currently sold through distributors throughout China.

"We've had several clients come to us every day, exchange contacts, and we'll continue to negotiate," said O. Akulinin.

He stated, "We hope that Chinese consumers will recognize our ice cream at the exhibition and seek it out in stores. We also expect our sales to grow and expand. To achieve this, we will continue to participate in this exhibition."

Kazakhstan has participated in the CIIE for eight consecutive years since the exhibition's inception in 2018. Each year, the range of exhibits becomes more diverse, while the number of companies from Kazakhstan continues to increase.

According to a report posted on the official website of the Ministry of Trade and Integration of the Republic of Kazakhstan, following the 7th CIIE, exhibiting companies from Kazakhstan signed contracts worth $120 million for the supply of meat and fat-and-oil products, dried camel milk, juices, and marmalades. -0-
