Guiyang officials attend national trade promotion conference

The conference of the 70th anniversary of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) and the Global Trade and Investment Promotion Summit was held on May 18 in Beijing, with officials from the CCPIT Guiyang sub-council in Guiyang, Southwest China's Guizhou province, attending the event online.

Since its founding in 1952, CCPIT has made substantial efforts to strengthen trade between Chinese and foreign enterprises, promote international exchanges, improving state-to-state relations.

With the combined impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the trend of anti-globalization, members from international trade and industrial communities have expressed an urgent need for peaceful development and fair play.

In response to these needs, the government is urged to promote the world economic growth engine switch and adjust economic structure to put the international economy on a track of stable development.

China will continue to support the multi-lateral trade mechanism that holds the World Trade Organization as its core and maintain the stability of global industrial and supply chains, in order to benefit more people throughout the world.

China will work harder to protect intellectual property rights and build an open, just, and non-discriminatory environment for sci-tech innovation, and strive to break barriers that limit the free flow of knowledge, technology and talent.
