The 6th China International Import Expo has arrived as scheduled. In the past six years, as the world's first national level exhibition with an import theme, CIIE has become a window for China to construct a new development pattern, a platform to promote high-level openness, and a globally shared international public product. In these six years, people have witnessed the "changes" and "unchanging" of the CIIE. The enthusiasm remains unchanged, but what has changed is the constantly expanding "circle of friends". Since the first CIIE in 2018, the steadily open Chinese market and promising Chinese economy have attracted more and more global merchants to participate in the CIIE. Over the past six years, visitors have become exhibitors and first-time visitors have become repeat visitors. At this year's CIIE, 11 countries participated in the national exhibition for the first time and 34 countries participated offline for the first time; The enterprise exhibition attracted nearly 20 Fortune Global 500 and industry leading enterprises, as well as over 500 small and medium-sized enterprises signing contracts for the first time to participate. As one of the guests of honor at this year's CIIE, Honduras is a new partner that has just joined the group this year. More than 40 companies from Honduras have gathered in China and are looking forward to their first exhibition. Rudolf Pastor, Minister of Affairs of the Presidential Office of Honduras (i.e. Chief Cabinet Minister), said, "I hope to use the CIIE as a bridge to promote Honduras as a commercial, tourist, and import and export destination to all parties, and to let people understand our culture." The original intention remains unchanged, but the constantly expanding functions serve as a window for China to build a new development pattern and a platform to promote high-level openness As an international public product shared globally, CIIE always adheres to its original intention and promotes common prosperity and progress for all parties. Along the way, the functions undertaken by the CIIE have continuously expanded, becoming an annual industry gathering for multinational enterprises and international organizations. At this year's CIIE, the number of exhibitors from Fortune Global 500 and industry leading enterprises has reached a historic high. Supporting on-site activities cover categories such as policy interpretation, trade docking, investment promotion, and research release. Renowned international organizations such as the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, the World Intellectual Property Organization, and the International Labour Organization participated in hosting sub forums. Zhang Xiqiang, Chairman and CEO of Nestle Greater China, said that on the platform provided by the CIIE, exhibitors can have comprehensive communication and exchange with various procurement teams, governments, industries, and media, as well as promote high-level and professional dialogue, thus exploring new ideas and opportunities for development. The good thing remains unchanged, but what has changed is the exploration of trade promotion. In early October, carrying the exhibits of the 6th China Europe International Import and Export Expo, the first "China Europe Railway - Import and Export Expo" arrived in Shanghai from Duisburg, Germany. According to Shanghai Dongfang Silk Road Multimodal Transport Co., Ltd., a platform enterprise of the China Europe Railway, this year the "China Europe Railway - Jinbo" plan is to organize three trains to transport exhibits from the Jinbo Expo to Shanghai. China Europe Express is a landmark brand of the "the Belt and Road". With the help of the Expo, the "the Belt and Road" will better match the huge dividends of China's accelerated construction of a strong domestic market, provide new opportunities for the world with China's new opening up, drive the trade scale of countries jointly built along the "the Belt and Road" to continue to expand, and become the "stabilizer" and "accelerator" of China EU trade. Maxim Kuznetsov, Chairman of the Russian Council of Asian Entrepreneurs, believes that the CIIE can
