◆ The responsible person of international organizations praised the Expo to reflect China's role.

Recently, several heads of international organizations welcomed the upcoming first China International Import Exposition as a manifestation of China's commitment to helping global economies share the fruits of global trade.

In an interview with Xinhua News Agency, Secretary-General of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Mohisa Kitui, said that China's hosting of the International Import Exposition was an important gesture to the world when some major economic powers pursued trade protectionism. It not only emphasizes that countries should develop in concert, but also demonstrates that China is willing to shoulder the responsibility of helping other economies share the fruits of trade.

He said that China encourages imports by setting up a new platform for the Expo, which is of great benefit to the sustainable development of trade.

Gonzalez, executive director of the International Trade Center, a joint venture between the United Nations and the World Trade Organization, also said in an interview that the Expo was aimed at further improving the level of integration between China and the rest of the world. China's positive approach to encouraging imports should not be limited to holding an international import fair, but will be a long-term policy, as China's economic development has shifted from an export-oriented development model to a "more diverse" development model.

Gonzalez also revealed that the International Trade Center will lead 100 representatives of small and medium-sized enterprises from around the world to participate in the Expo. She believed that LDCs and SMEs faced many difficulties in entering foreign markets, and that the Expo would provide them with an opportunity to enter the huge market of China, and hoped that they would take this opportunity to establish lasting trade relations.

Borg Blund, president of the World Economic Forum, also said that as one of the world's second largest economies and the most important international markets, China has expressed its commitment to actively participate in international trade through the Fair, which is crucial to global economic development.

The first China International Import Expo will be held in Shanghai from November 5 to 10, and more than 2,800 enterprises from more than 130 countries and regions have confirmed their participation.
