From 2018, we host the Import EXPO, never stop. If the first Import EXPO was a one way invitation to the world, every Import EXPO later on should be a mutual agreement that both China and the world are pursuing, relecting the common wish among each side all over the world for open cooperation. Now, centennial changes are accelerating their evolution, inverse-globation thoughts are emerging, unilaterlism and protectionism are accending, global peace and development cause is facing unstable, uncertainty is booming.

China will further open up super large scale market, including implementing unilateral opening strategy, ensuring 100% zero tariff on least developping countries and so on. Keep hosting successful Import EXPO, Canton Fair and other exhibitions, genuinely turning the big China market into the big world opportunity. Thirdly, persist in taking responsibility of opening in common destination. China persist in maintaining multi-lateral trading scheme that centering on WTO, supporting developping countries to better in sharing the premium of globalization. We hope that each side could closely ordinate well among international organizations, taking the lead in exploiting and implementing WTO “ Investment Facilitation Agreement for Promoting Development” , cooperatively constructing opening world economy.
