At the opening ceremony of the second China International Supply Chain Expo (CISCE) held in Beijing, a groundbreaking Beijing Initiative for International Cooperation on Industrial and Supply Chains was announced. This initiative aims to foster stable and seamless global supply chains, addressing key aspects such as open cooperation, digital connectivity, green development, enhanced services, and the pivotal role of the business community.
The initiative emphasizes the importance of practicing true multilateralism by promoting trade and investment liberalization, opposing protectionism, and encouraging international industrial specialization and collaboration. The goal is to achieve an integrated development of industries and a deeper connection between supply and demand, ensuring stable and uninterrupted supply chains that contribute to inclusive economic globalization.
Embracing technological advancements, the initiative advocates for a robust integration of the real economy with the digital economy. It highlights the potential of digital technologies and cross-border e-commerce, while also supporting the industrial application of artificial intelligence to unleash new productive forces.
Further, the initiative calls for the acceleration of international logistics systems development. It urges governments to cooperate in enhancing port and transportation logistics, expanding multimodal transport networks, advancing the digitalization and green transformation of logistics, and building intelligent logistics networks.
Encouraging the global business community, the initiative invites businesses to utilize platforms like CISCE to deepen practical cooperation, build mutual trust, and foster a common understanding among nations.
The second CISCE, recognized as the world's first national-level exhibition focused on supply chains, ran from Tuesday to Saturday in Beijing. With the theme "Connecting the World for a Shared Future," the expo showcased a comprehensive range of supply chain processes from upstream to downstream, offering extensive opportunities for business matchmaking and investment across diverse industries.
