The meeting comprehensively reviewed the achievements and experiences of these offices in serving China’s high-standard opening up and the high-quality development of trade promotion. It also conducted an in-depth analysis of the evolving international economic and trade landscape, faithfully grasped the new requirements for supporting the country’s high-standard opening-up, and mapped out priority tasks based on the missions and responsibilities of the overseas offices.
