China pledges to promote high-standard opening-up
(VOVWORLD) - As the first prominent international exhibition following the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC), the 5th China International Import Expo (CIIE) will once again help the world better understand China's high-standard opening-up and win-win approach.
Echoing his report to the 20th CPC National Congress, Chinese President Xi Jinping Friday reiterated China's commitments to promoting high-standard opening-up.
"Openness is a key driving force behind the progress of human civilizations and an intrinsic path toward global prosperity and development," Xi said when addressing the opening ceremony of the 5th CIIE via video.
This year's expo is slated for November 5-10 in China's economic hub Shanghai and expects to welcome participants from 145 countries, regions and international organizations.
