The 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE) will open tomorrow in Shanghai. Hong Kong has sent 30 young volunteers. I wonder how well they understand the CIIE? The CIIE not only witnesses China's economic transformation from "the world's factory" to "consumption-driven," but also attracts high-quality global products through its vast domestic market, reshaping the new landscape of international trade. Meanwhile, looking back at the long-standing and close economic ties between Shanghai and Hong Kong, from early shipping trade to today's financial and innovation cooperation, some industries have seen Hong Kong companies actively entering Shanghai, while many innovative ideas and products have been introduced from Shanghai to Hong Kong, demonstrating the profound economic and cultural exchange between the two places. I would like to encourage the young volunteers: on this international stage, you should not only connect with the world through professional service, but also promote cooperation through cultural understanding, showcasing the vision and breadth of mind of the new generation.
