    “Working Together for an Open Global Economy That Is Innovative and Inclusive” is a keynote speech delivered at the opening ceremony of the first China International Import Expo, Shanghai. on November 5, 2018. According to the speech, the CIIE is the world’s first import expo held at the national level, an innovation in the history of global trade. It is an important decision made by China to pursue a new round of high-level opening up, and is China’s major initiative to still widen market access to the rest of the world. It demonstrates China’s consistent position of supporting the multilateral trading system and promoting free trade. It is a concrete action by China to advance an open world economy and support economic globalization. To broaden its opening up, China will step up efforts to stimulate the potential for increased imports, continue to broaden market access, foster a world-class business environment, create new hubs for opening up, and promote international cooperation at multilateral and bilateral levels.
