[Many data of the 9th CIIE hit new highs. Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Firmly open the door to share development opportunities] November 13th, Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Mao Ning hosted a regular press conference on November 13th. A reporter asked a question: The 9th China International Import Expo concluded in Shanghai a few days ago. The number of exhibitors, exhibition area, and intended transaction volume reached new highs. More than 100 companies and institutions have signed contracts for the next CIIE. Some commentators described the CIIE as an “import marathon.” What is the spokesperson's comment on this? Mao Ning said that as the world's second largest consumer and import market, China has held the CIIE for nine consecutive years, firmly opening its door to share development opportunities with the world. At this CIIE, companies from all over the world once again cast a vote of confidence in the Chinese market, demonstrating their willingness and confidence to deeply explore China. Mao Ning pointed out that the attractiveness of the Chinese market comes from its huge size and potential, as well as from China's institutional advantages, stable policy expectations, continuously optimized business environment, and continuously improved legal protection, which are the most effective reassurances. China will continue to host the CIIE successfully, adhere to openness and win-win, and transform the certainty of China's high-quality development into the certainty of common development of the world.
