Strengthening policy coordination and expanding industrial cooperation between China and Eurasian countries will generate new growth momentum, deepen regional economic integration and enhance regional connectivity, senior government officials from both sides said on Thursday.
While delivering a speech at the opening ceremony of the 9th China-Eurasia Expo in Urumqi, the capital of Xinjiang Uygur autonomous region, Chinese Vice-Premier Ding Xuexiang said China is willing to work with Eurasian countries to strengthen policy coordination, better align development strategies and industrial planning, and deepen economic integration.
Ding said China will further expand market access and open more sectors to foreign investment, increase imports of high-quality products and broaden opportunities for two-way investment, allowing more businesses and people across Eurasia to benefit from China's development.
Running from Thursday to Monday, the expo has attracted companies and institutions from 49 countries, regions and international organizations this year. The United Arab Emirates, South Korea, Russia and Thailand are making their debut with national pavilions at this year's event, according to Xinjiang's regional government.
