The opening ceremony of the seminar was hosted by Zuo Haicong, professor of the Law w88 casino and chief expert of the Foreign Rule of Law Research Institute.
In his speech, Professor Mei Xiaying warmly welcomed the guests with the vigorous image of midsummer, and reviewed the w88 casino’s outstanding contributions in cultivating foreign-related talents and international exchanges and cooperation since its establishment in 1951. He pointed out that as a university with "foreign" characteristics, the w88 casino of Law at UIUST has cultivated many international economic and w88 legal talents for more than 40 years, and its graduates are active in the global economic and w88 field. The seminar on the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) has a distinct theme and rich topics, and will surely produce rich discussion results.
Chen Hongyu, a second-level senior judge of the Supreme People's Court, said in his speech that as one of the earliest parties to the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG), China attaches great importance to the application of the Convention and promotes its unified implementation through normative documents, typical cases and judicial practice. Through guiding cases and typical foreign-related cases, Chinese courts have made authoritative interpretations of fundamental breaches of the Convention, forms of contract formation and other provisions. Relevant judgments have been included in the United Nations Conference on International w88 Law, providing references for international practice.
Chen Fuyong, Deputy Secretary-General of the Beijing Arbitration Commission, emphasized in his speech that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) plays an important role in international commercial arbitration, pointing out that China, as an early party to the Convention, has accumulated more than 30 years of rich practical experience. With the deepening of China’s opening up to the outside world and the advancement of the “Belt and Road” initiative, CISG has been increasingly used in arbitration cases. In the past five years, the BAC has accepted 26 cases involving CISG, showing that the parties’ recognition of the Convention has gradually increased.
Feng Hui warmly welcomed the Chinese and foreign guests in his speech and wished the meeting a complete success.
The conference held a new book release ceremony. Professor Ingeborg Schwenzer, Judge Chen Hongyu, Deputy Secretary-General Chen Fuyong, Lecturer Guo Peng, and Editor Wang Lei unveiled the latest book Selected Chinese Cases on the UN Sales Convention (CISG) Vol. 4.
