WTO spokesperson: CIIE will bring more trade opportunities to countries

WTO spokesperson: China's economy and import and export take the lead in stabilizing the Expo, bringing more trade opportunities to countries

CCTV News: The

third China International Import Expo officially kicked off last night (November 4).

WTO spokesperson Keith Rockwell said in an interview with a headquarter reporter in Geneva that China’s imports and exports are the first to recover as the new crown pneumonia epidemic is spreading globally, and the CIIE will bring more trade opportunities. The organization has also been actively participating in the CIIE.

　　As a partner of the CIIE, the WTO has participated in two consecutive sessions, and each time the WTO Director-General led a delegation to attend and publish the World Trade Report.

Keith Rockwell said that this year, affected by the epidemic, it can only participate remotely. Participating in the CIIE is very worthwhile.

　　Keith Rockwell pointed out that this year, affected by the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the global economic recession has affected the import and export industry.

However, according to the International Monetary Fund’s forecast, China’s economy will grow by 1.9% in 2020, becoming the only major economy that will achieve positive growth in 2020, and China’s imports and exports will gradually return to normal growth levels.

　　Keith Rockwell said that as China's economy and imports and exports stabilize first, the CIIE will attract more attention and bring more trade opportunities.
