Li Qiang: The China International Import Expo insists on "benefiting together with the world." China adheres to equality and mutual benefit, upholds ethics, and promotes governance reform

According to state media reports, Premier Li Qiang attended the opening ceremony of the 8th China International Import Expo and the Hongqiao International Economic Forum in Shanghai, where he delivered a keynote speech. Li Qiang stated that the Import Expo is the gateway for the world economy to enter the Chinese economy and an important bridge connecting China with the world. This year, the number of participating companies at the Import Expo has reached a new historical high, fully demonstrating the vibrant vitality of China's super-large-scale market.

Li Qiang pointed out that the Import Expo is getting better and better, largely because it adheres to the principle of "mutual benefits with the world." In contrast, some unilateralism and protectionism behaviors in the current international arena severely impact the international economic and trade order and disrupt the operation of the world economy. What kind of value concept should be upheld in international economic and trade activities has become an increasingly important and practical issue. He shared three points of view: First, adhere to equality and mutual benefit, and solidify the foundation of legitimate common interests. The slower the world economy develops and the more international disputes intensify, the more we must insist on equal and mutually beneficial cooperation and embrace free trade, promoting the resolution of conflicts and problems through joint development. Second, always uphold morality and effectively maintain international fairness and justice. The destinies of countries in today's world are closely linked, and we should balance righteousness and benefits, work together, and help each other. Third, promote governance reform and improve the international economic and trade rule system. China is willing to actively promote the implementation of global governance initiatives in the field of international economic and trade, reforming and improving the multilateral trading system centered on the World Trade Organization.

Li Qiang stated that the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has reviewed and approved the "14th Five-Year" plan proposal, injecting more certainty into China's economic and social development in the coming period. There are two main aspects: First, the certainty of development. China will adhere to the centrality of economic construction, concentrate efforts on promoting high-quality development, and make new important contributions to global economic growth. Second, the certainty of openness. China will unswervingly promote high-level opening up, steadily expand institutional opening, and advance the comprehensive pilot demonstration of opening up in the service industry. A China that is continuously moving towards modernization will undoubtedly inject more stability and positive energy into the world
