GUANGZHOU, China, Oct. 16, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

On October 14, Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter to the

130th Canton Fair.

In his letter, Xi noted that the Fair made significant contributions to

facilitating international trade, internal-external exchanges, and economic

development since its founding in 1957.

Facing global changes and a pandemic both unseen in a century, the world

economy and trade are undergoing profound transformations. The Canton Fair,

therefore, should help foster China's new development paradigm, innovate its

mechanism, create more business models, and expand its role to become a vital

platform for the country's opening-up on all fronts, Xi said.

This platform should also help advance the high-quality development of global

trade and facilitate the "dual circulation" of domestic and overseas markets.

China is willing to join hands with all other nations and practice real

multilateralism to build a world economy featuring high-level openness, Xi said.

Chinese Premier Li Keqiang delivered a speech at the opening ceremony of the

130th Canton Fair and the Pearl River International Trade Forum in China's

southern city of Guangzhou. He said China's development is propelled by

opening-up and reform, and the country will share its development opportunities

with the world to achieve better development.

Peruvian President Pedro Castillo, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin,

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban, Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Sabri

Yaakob, Cote d'Ivoire Prime Minister Patrick Achi and Secretary-General of the

UN Conference on Trade and Development Rebeca Grynspan attended the ceremony

via video link.

Premier Li said the history of the Canton Fair is a history of China's

opening-up and integration into the world economy, and also a history of

enterprises from all over the world sharing China's development opportunities

and achieving mutual benefit and win-win results.

Foreign leaders spoke highly of the Canton Fair's role in promoting

international trade and facilitating the global economic recovery in the

post-pandemic era. They expressed their confidence in China's economic

development prospects and said that they will encourage companies from their

countries to expand cooperation in China to better share China's development

opportunities.

After the opening ceremony, Premier Li inspected some domestic and foreign

exhibition halls and listened to their briefings on businesses. In the end of

the inspection, Premier Li said he hopes the Fair can scale new heights in

advancing win-win cooperation and sustainable development.
