On November 4, the opening ceremony of the 4th China International Import Expo and Hongqiao International Economic Forum will be held in Shanghai. President Xi Jinping will deliver a keynote speech via video.

This will be the fourth consecutive year that President Xi Jinping will deliver a keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the CIIE.

　　What is special about the CIIE?

Why does President Xi Jinping attach so much importance to it?

In the keynote speeches over the past three years, what major measures has President Xi Jinping announced?

What are the important initiatives?

Let's see together——

Key word one: opening to the outside world

　　President Xi Jinping’s words lay out the essence of China’s hosting of the CIIE.

As the world's first national-level exhibition themed on imports, the CIIE has become an important window for the outside world to observe China's opening-up policy.

　　Here, the world has seen China’s firm determination to persist in opening up.

　　"Continue to relax market access", "Continue to optimize the business environment", "Deepen bilateral, multilateral, and regional cooperation"... President Xi Jinping announced at the CIIE a series of major measures to expand China's opening up.

　　For 4 consecutive years, the negative list for foreign investment has been reduced, the free trade pilot zone has been continuously expanded, and the construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port has been accelerated... Starting from the CIIE, the world has seen China share market opportunities with the world and promote the common development of all countries.

Key word two: meet the challenge together

　　The world today is undergoing major changes unseen in a century, with instability and uncertainty rising significantly.

Climbing high and looking into the distance, President Xi Jinping provides ideas for countries to work together to deal with challenges, and guides the direction for the world in chaos——

　　The sudden outbreak of the new crown pneumonia has brought severe shocks to all countries and also brought heavy damage to the world economy.

At the 3rd CIIE to be held in 2020, President Xi Jinping’s sincere words injected strong confidence into the world——

Keyword three: win-win cooperation

　　Since its inaugural event, the CIIE has connected China and the world, and has become the four major platforms for international procurement, investment promotion, cultural exchanges, and open cooperation, and has become an international public product shared globally.

More and more countries and enterprises participate in the exhibition, the exhibition area is getting bigger and bigger, and the variety of goods is becoming more abundant.

It can be said that hosting the CIIE is a microcosm of the win-win cooperation between China and other countries in the world.

　　In the keynote speeches at the opening ceremony of the first three CIIEs, "cooperation" and "win-win" are constant high-frequency words——

　　Share opportunities and develop together.

　　This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China and the 20th anniversary of my country's accession to the World Trade Organization. The holding of the 4th CIIE is even more special.
