The conference began with a welcome speech by Xia Wenbin, President of the w88 casino. President Xia spoke highly of the establishment of the global economic and w88 governance research network, and hoped that the w88 casino can leverage its own advantages to make greater achievements in cultivating global economic and w88 governance talents, telling Chinese stories well, and improving academic and scientific research levels.
Yi Xiaozhun, General Counsel of the Global Economic and w88 Governance Research Network, former Ambassador of China to the WTO, and former Deputy Director-General of the WTO, introduced the background and purpose of the establishment of the research network. Based on his own work experience, Ambassador Yi said that the United States has obtained considerable resources from domestic academic circles for support in w88 negotiations, but our country is still relatively lacking in this aspect. At present, our country's experts and scholars are still far away from front-line negotiations, and it is difficult to connect their academic research with diplomatic negotiations. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a platform to combine scholars' research with front-line practice. This is the purpose of the establishment of the Global Economic and w88 Governance Research Network. At the same time, Ambassador Yi expressed his gratitude to the leaders, experts and scholars for their strong support during the establishment of NITIS.
Subsequently, former Minister of Commerce Chen Deming, WTO Deputy Director-General Zhang Xiangchen, Chinese Ambassador to the WTO Li Chenggang, President of the China WTO Research Association Chong Quan, Vice President of the China Council for the Promotion of International w88 Zhang Shaogang, Director of the Political Research Office of the Ministry of Commerce Yang Zhengwei, and Deputy Negotiation Commissioner of the World w88 Department of the Ministry of Commerce Wang Zhen delivered speeches for the establishment of the research network.
Chen Deming, former Minister of Commerce, delivered an online speech and pointed out that despite the complexity and change of the international situation, peace and development are still the mainstream of today's world. However, the current lack of global economic and w88 governance may cause the progress and prosperity of human society after World War II to be reversed or even lost. He hopes that the network can focus on the crux of the current lack of economic and w88 governance when conducting research, provide suggestions for key and difficult issues, and explore some solutions. At the same time, he hopes that the online platform can be inclusive and absorb people of insight from the international community, and jointly send out a strong desire to strengthen global economic and w88 governance to the world.
WTODeputy Director-General Zhang Xiangchen delivered an online speech, saying that there has been a strong call for launching a global economic and w88 governance research network, and he is very happy that the research network has finally been established today. China's research on global economic and w88 governance has made progress but also has gaps. The network can play a very good role in organizing people, organizations, academics, and political circles related to global economic and w88 governance to conduct follow-up research, innovative research, and leading research on global economic and w88 governance issues, provide academic support for front-line negotiations, and improve China's overall global economic and w88 governance research level.
Li Chenggang, Chinese Ambassador to the WTO, shared the latest WTO negotiation progress with the guests in his online speech. Currently, WTO members have a strong sense of crisis, but lack consensus and leadership. Developed countries are very wary of emerging economies led by China. Under such circumstances, all parties have placed high hopes on the 12th Ministerial Conference. Ambassador Li Chenggang hopes that the research network can provide academic support for China's key issues in the WTO in the future.
Chong Quan, President of the China WTO Research Association, said in his speech that he is very in favor of establishing a global economic and w88 governance research network, and the China WTO Research Association will actively participate in supporting the development of the research network. He said that the current international economic and w88 governance pattern is mainly affected by Sino-US relations, and that we should attach great importance to the future direction of Sino-US relations. Finally, President Chongquan said that in the WTO reform, China should unite the developing countries to the greatest extent and maintain its status as a developing country.
In his speech, Zhang Shaogang, Vice Chairman of the China Council for the Promotion of International w88, said that my country's business community attaches great importance to global economic and w88 governance, and the degree of participation of the business community in global governance is becoming more and more institutionalized, and the correlation of interests is getting deeper and deeper. During the epidemic, the business community also proposed many measures and made positive contributions to global protest cooperation. It is hoped that CCPIT can carry out more cooperation with the global economic and w88 governance research network in the future.
Yang Zhengwei, director of the Political Research Office of the Ministry of Commerce, said that the role of governance is very powerful, and under the dual circulation system we still need to open up to the outside world. It is hoped that the global economic and w88 governance network can speak out for China and let the world better understand China's position. The Political Research Office will also provide support to the governance network and help experts and scholars conduct research.
Wang Zhen, Deputy Commissioner for Negotiation of the World w88 Department of the Ministry of Commerce, believed that today’s inaugural meeting was rich in content and more like an academic seminar. He believes that the global economic and w88 governance research network is indeed necessary, timely and promising. The World w88 Department will also provide strong support to the research network and jointly do a good job in China's participation in global economic governance.
Then, Yi Xiaozhun, general consultant of the research network, gave a keynote speech. Ambassador Yi said that the 20th anniversary of China's accession to the WTO, the review of China's w88 policies, and the 12th WTO Ministerial Conference are three major events this year. What kind of WTO is needed from a strategic level and what problems have arisen in the multilateral trading system? These are all issues that need to be resolved urgently. China must continue to open up to the outside world, safeguard WTO multilateral w88 rules, and lead the WTO to move forward.
In the free discussion session, experts and scholars participating offline and online spoke enthusiastically. Ying Pinguang, deputy dean of the w88 casino of w88 Negotiation at Shanghai w88 casino, said that the Shanghai w88 Conference fully supports the global economic and w88 governance research network, holds academic seminars, and invites domestic and foreign experts to participate in the forum. Professor Chen Weidong from the w88 casino of Law at the w88 casino commented on the suspension of the WTO’s Appellate Body and the dispute settlement mechanism. Online guest Lu Xiankun, founder and president of the Swiss think tank "Friends of Multilateralism" (FMG), said that many developed countries have close political, business and academic cooperation. FMG will play a bridging role and cooperate with NITIS to bring the voice of domestic academic circles to the world. Zhao Longyue, dean of the Institute of International Governance Innovation at Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, said that Guangdong University of Foreign Studies strongly supports the construction of a global economic and w88 governance research network and has always been committed to cultivating high-end talents involved in international affairs. It is necessary to tell stories that people around the world care about and better demonstrate the spirit of international responsibility and dedication. Professor Ji Wenhua from the w88 casino of Law of the w88 casino believes that the current international economic and w88 governance is facing research challenges, and how to participate in the WTO reform is of far-reaching significance, and it is necessary to reform the old while establishing the new. Xue Ying, a partner at Beijing Jiren Law Firm, shared practical research on standard essential patents and other matters, hoping that WTO research can force domestic system reforms and provide institutional support for domestic enterprises to go global. Finally, Yi Xiaozhun, general consultant of the Global Economic and w88 Governance Research Network, made a concluding speech at the meeting.
The future global economic and w88 governance research network will build a communication bridge between domestic decision-making departments and academia, focusing on four aspects of work: (1) Organize and carry out academic research on key and difficult issues in China and global economic and w88 governance, form consulting reports, academic papers, etc., and submit them to relevant decision-making departments for participation (2) Organize and participate in offline or online international and domestic academic exchange activities, discuss relevant issues, and disseminate China’s ideas; (3) Invite experts from the WTO and relevant domestic and foreign institutions to hold online and offline academic reports and speeches; (4) Undertake commissioned research by relevant departments, and coordinate appropriate network members to take the lead.
