CIIE: Strengthening Global Development Through Inclusive Cooperation Amid Rising Uncertainty

From Vision to Action: CIIE's Role in Global Development

In an era marked by increasing global uncertainty and anti-globalization sentiments, the China International Import Expo (CIIE) stands out as a pivotal platform for openness and collaboration. Hosted on June 25th in Geneva by the United Nations, the event titled "Working Together to Advance the UN Agenda 2030 - How the China International Import Expo Helps" showcased CIIE's commitment to fostering inclusive growth.

During the event, representatives from companies like dōTERRA and Warmpaca shared their success stories facilitated by CIIE. Since 2018, dōTERRA has partnered with Guizhou through CIIE, harnessing innovation to enhance the value of traditional Chinese plants while boosting local farmers' incomes. Similarly, Warmpaca, having launched at the inaugural CIIE, has collaborated with over 1,000 families to produce handmade products from alpaca wool, successfully expanding into both the Chinese and global markets, thereby creating jobs and strengthening local communities.

With the expo approaching, preparations have entered a new and dynamic phase. On May 22nd, a specialized meeting was held in Chongqing, gathering nearly 40 exhibitors and over 110 local buyers. This event laid a solid foundation for deeper cooperation ahead of CIIE, with over 280,000 square meters of exhibition space already reserved for this year’s event. The layout has been further optimized to highlight innovations, advanced technologies, and top-tier services.

The upcoming China-Central Asia Summit, building upon this momentum, is expected to enhance exchanges and collaborations between the regions. Central Asian countries, as regular participants of CIIE, continue to strengthen relations with China through this critical platform. For instance, at the seventh CIIE, Kazakh businesses showcased a broader range of high-quality products than ever before.

The eighth CIIE promises to attract a more diverse array of exhibitors, professional buyers, and visitors from various sectors. HQF will serve as a central venue for dialogues on open economies and inclusive globalization.

In conclusion, the CIIE goes beyond being just a trade show. It symbolizes a commitment to inclusive global development, fostering partnerships that facilitate mutual growth and understanding. In such uncertain times, platforms like CIIE are essential in paving the way for a collaborative future in international trade. The event not only highlights the potential of global partnerships but also offers invaluable opportunities for local communities around the world.
