Thus, the CCPIT stands ready to work with other parties to seize the historical opportunities, create more high-quality platforms and provide more targeted services for matching and exchanges between China and CEEC business circles, improve and upgrade the work of the China Council, and open up new space for economic and trade cooperation. In addition, Ren welcomes the participation of members of the China-CEEC Business Council in the first China International Supply Chain Expo, scheduled to be held in Beijing in November this year.
