Claudius Nasuyi, Minister of Economic Development and Digitalization of Moldova, said: "I think economic globalization is a good thing, and I am also happy to see China continue to adhere to this position." He believes that open trade can provide consumers with a richer choice of goods, and in the long run, more market competition and international trade will be beneficial to economic development.
De La Mora, Director of the International Trade and Commodities Division of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, said that the CIIE provides companies with a platform to enhance understanding, exchange and cooperation, and helps create more job opportunities, promote trade and investment, and promote economic growth.
