Linyi is a famous market city in China and the logistics capital of China. "Here, global goods can radiate to the vast Chinese market with low cost and high efficiency, and can also reach all parts of the world conveniently." Linyi Mayor Yu Shengtao said that in August this year, Linyi International Port Code was officially approved for use, marking the city's comprehensive upgrade from "logistics porter" to "trade organizer".

Abdullah Elfrid, vice president of the Africa-China Cooperation and Development Investment Association from Libya, said at the opening ceremony that Linyi has a large-scale professional market, a rich variety of high-quality and low-price products, and flexible and efficient supply capabilities, which are very attractive to African buyers. Linyi's manufacturing advantages are highly consistent with the needs of the African market. There is huge potential and broad prospects for cooperation between the two parties.

Tuzyev Tunza, general manager of Kazakhstan's ALA International Logistics Company, said that the company will use Linyi as a window to establish a Chinese commodity procurement base, carry out large-scale order-based commodity procurement, supply to Kazakhstan's largest e-commerce platform, and promote more high-quality Linyi products to Kazakhstan.
