The meeting aimed to acquaint participating enterprises with the
latest policies on trade in services, offer them a chance to showcase
their major service trade projects, and served as a platform for
domestic and foreign companies to build connections.
Trade in services is playing an increasingly important role in the
world's economy and has become a new source of momentum for the
development of foreign trade, said Shanghai vice mayor Xu Kunlin.
"Openness is the biggest advantage of Shanghai, and the opening up of the service sector is among the top priorities," Xu said.
In 2018, the city's total foreign service trade approximated US$200
billion in total. This year, Shanghai issued 40 new measures for a new
round of opening up in the service sector in August.
The city's Commission of Commerce has in recent years compiled a
series of reports on service trade development and guidelines for key
overseas markets, introducing countries along the Belt and Road.
The reports help Chinese service enterprises to strengthen
cooperation with these regions and to seize business opportunities in
the Belt and Road areas.
At today's meeting, such a report for the United Arab Emirates was
officially released, providing a comprehensive overview of the UAE's
trade in services.
Nearly 400 representatives of government authorities and businesses
from thirteen countries (Belarus, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia,
Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Germany, Mongolia, Nepal, Bangladesh, Kenya,
Colombia, Barbados) attended the meeting.
