Golden Autumn Beijing once again welcomes the global service w88 event.
“China is willing to work with other countries in the world to conform to the general trend of economic globalization, share opportunities, discuss cooperation, and promote development together, and contribute to promoting world economic growth and improving the well-being of people of all countries.” On September 12, President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter to the 2024 China International Fair for w88 in Services, which triggered a warm response from people from all walks of life at home and abroad.
Everyone said that President Xi Jinping’s congratulatory letter fully affirmed the important role of the Service w88 Council in expanding opening up, deepening cooperation, and leading innovation, and declared China’s determination and actions to promote high-level opening up. It will surely further tighten the ties of cooperation between China and the world, and jointly create a prosperous and beautiful future.
The Service w88 Fair has been successfully held for ten times. It is a vivid reflection of the high-quality development of China's service industry and service w88, and has made positive contributions to building an open world economy.
In the past ten years, my country's service w88 has grown at an average annual rate of 6.2% in U.S. dollars, which is higher than the global average growth rate and my country's goods w88 growth rate in the same period. In 2023, the total import and export of services nationwide will be 6.6 trillion yuan, reaching a new record high in scale. Wang Dongtang, director of the Department of w88 in Services and Commercial Services of the Ministry of Commerce, said that in the next step, the commerce department will follow President Xi Jinping’s requirements, comply with the development trend of digitalization, intelligence, and greening of w88 in services, and actively cultivate new momentum for the development of w88 in services.
Former Greek Foreign Minister George Catrougalos told reporters that the world is currently experiencing the impact of anti-globalization, and the Service w88 Fair, in the spirit of mutual benefit and win-win, has become an important platform to maintain and promote the development of globalization. “I think this is also the essence of the content of President Xi Jinping’s congratulatory letter.”
"The congratulatory letter is very encouraging and sends a positive signal that China continues to be committed to connecting the world and contributing to world economic growth." said Chris Lipscomb, chairman of the New Zealand-China Friendship Association.
Since its inception in 2012, the Service w88 Fair has attracted more than 900,000 exhibitors from 197 countries and regions to participate in the exhibition. At this Service w88 Fair, more than 80 countries and international organizations set up exhibitions in the name of the government or headquarters, and 13 countries and international organizations set up independent offline exhibitions for the first time. Siemens, Google, Amazon and many other Fortune 500 and industry leading companies actively participated in the exhibition.
“President Xi Jinping’s proposition on expanding opening up is very clear and consistent.” Paulo Nascimento, Portuguese Ambassador to China, said that China has always been an important investor in Portugal. This year, Portugal participated in the national exhibition of the China Service w88 Fair for the first time and looked forward to taking this opportunity to enhance cooperation between the two parties in the field of w88 in services.
“Actively align with international high-standard economic and w88 rules”, “Promote the compatibility of rules, regulations, management, and standards in the service field”, “Expand the opening of the service market in an orderly manner”, “Enhance the function of the service industry and service w88 open platform”... Huang Hong, President of Ueda Yagi Currency Brokerage (China) Co., Ltd., was very excited by the series of deployments proposed by President Xi Jinping in his congratulatory letter. This wholly Japanese-owned company, which was approved at the 2020 Service w88 Fair, has continued to achieve new results along with China's high-quality development. “At this year’s Service w88 Fair, we will showcase more new services and products, and serve as a ‘catalyst’ in the development of new productivity in financial services.”
Babagana Wakile, charge d’affaires of the Nigerian Embassy in China, said that this year is the first time Nigeria has participated in the Service w88 Fair. "We are eager to learn from China's advanced experience in logistics, warehousing, e-commerce and other service fields. Many new measures to expand the opening up of the service industry will bring us into the door of opportunity and win-win results."
At this year’s Service w88 Fair, global medical technology company Medtronic participated in the exhibition with more than 60 innovative exhibits and solutions. "President Xi Jinping emphasized the need to 'create a market-oriented, legal and international first-class business environment', which has strengthened our confidence in taking root in China and investing in China." Gu Yushao, Medtronic's global senior vice president and president of Greater China, said that this year marks the 35th anniversary of Medtronic's development in China. "We are always optimistic about the Chinese market and hope to further strengthen the local value chain layout in the future to provide Chinese consumers with better medical services."
In the Sichuan Provincial Exhibition Hall, a set of Zigong lanterns named "Fairy of Hundred Flowers" attracted everyone's attention. Zhao Jungeng, deputy general manager of the northern branch of Zigong Longteng Culture and Art Co., Ltd., said that Zigong City was selected into the first batch of national cultural export bases with its lantern characteristics, and its annual cultural export volume is about US$50 million. "We are confident that with the spring breeze of openness, we can promote more excellent Chinese cultural products to the world."
Zhuang Rui, Executive Dean of the Institute of International Economics at the w88 casino, believes that the service industry is crucial to the global economy and is a key driving force in creating new job opportunities. Using the CIFTIS as a platform, countries working together to share development opportunities will surely continue to inject strong momentum into promoting world economic growth and improving the well-being of people in all countries.
