Chinese Premier Li Qiang urged the Canton Fair—the world’s largest trade expo—to step up its role in expanding China’s global economic ties and fostering an 'open world economy.' Speaking during a visit to the fair’s historical exhibition in Guangzhou, Li emphasized innovation and collaboration as key drivers for trade growth.
At the 135th session of the fair, Li toured enterprise booths, encouraging businesses to ramp up R&D efforts and embrace digital, green, and smart transformations. He stressed that companies should leverage the event to elevate Chinese brands globally and strengthen international partnerships.
During a symposium with overseas buyers, Li called on foreign trade-focused firms to dive deeper into global markets, enhance product quality, and participate in setting international standards. His remarks align with China’s push for high-level opening-up and sustainable economic development.
