"Through the forum, I hope participants from all parties can reach a higher consensus on trade liberalization, and eliminate trade protectionism. Zhejiang province is notably famous for exporting small merchandise around the globe, and is actively exploring free trade zones and cross-border digital trade platforms. An open and transparent market environment is conducive to businesses in China and around the world."

"The forum is highly anticipated, very well-organized and we look forward to yielding substantial results from this grand gathering and put all relevant projects on track."
