Successfully held four times previously in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and

Hangzhou, this is an international quality conference with the highest

standard, largest scale and most extensive influence in the field of quality in

China. For the first time this major event is being hosted by a province in

western China.

The host city has just successfully held the Chengdu FISU World University

Games, and worldwide athletes and viewers have witnessed the city's vibrant

sports vibes, experienced the beautiful life of the happiest city in China, and

perceived the friendly, inclusive and positive urban atmosphere. This success

is inseparable from Chengdu's strong support and ardent dedication to

manufacturing quality, public service quality and consumer product quality.

As the core city in the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle,

Chengdu boasts obvious advantages in industrial quality, where the development

environment for small and medium-sized enterprises ranks first in the central

and western regions. The quality of products continues to improve, with the

passing rate of random inspections at the municipal level of industrial

products and consumer goods consistently remaining at 94.5% and 93.7%,

respectively, and 99% for that of foods and drugs. The quality infrastructure

has grown rapidly, with a total of 41 international standards formulated, and

21 national-level quality inspection centers established. Chengdu has completed

the construction of the National Inspection and Testing High-tech Service

Industry Cluster, National South Asian Standardization Research Center,

National Technical Standards Innovation Base, and International Standardization

Talents Training Base.

This Conference will furnish Chengdu with a favorable opportunity to showcase

its image and promote the city's quality development, further bolstering the

city's role as a leader in accelerating high-quality socio-economic advancement

in the western region.
