Since 2007, delegated by the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China (MOFCOM), China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products (CCCME) has served as the Chinese Secretariat or Chinese Office of more than 10 intergovernmental multi/bi-lateral mechanisms, such as China Russia Chamber of Commerce for Machinery and Electric Products, China Provinces and US California/Michigan Joint Working Group on Trade and Investment Cooperation, Business Forum Italy-China, CICA Business Council, China-Finland Committee for Innovative Business Cooperation, China-KSA Five-year Action Plan on Mutual Business Visits, China-UAE Five-year Action Plan on Mutual Business Visits, China-Algeria Five-year Action Plan on Mutual Business Visits, and Council of Entrepreneurs France-China. These mechanisms operate under the guidance of both Chinese and foreign governments. Broadly participated by local governments and key enterprises, they are not only high-end platforms for industry exchanges, enterprise matchmaking, technical cooperation and business visits between China and other countries, but also important channels for policy interpretation, information sharing and suggestions collection. They have become “the second track” that boost economic and trade exchanges as well as investment cooperation between China and the rest of the world. As the Chinese Secretariat or Chinese Office, CCCME has organized numerous matching activities for leaders’ high-level visits, led trade promotion delegations to overseas markets, held multi/bi-lateral economic forums, seminars and matching meetings at all levels, and released key policies, projects and industry information in key markets. It has also helped realize China’s ambitions to develop foreign trade, promote cooperation between Chinese and foreign enterprises, and facilitate Chinese enterprises to “go global”. In the recent future, under the guidance of MOFCOM, CCCME will keep pushing these mechanisms forward to achieve “specialization, profoundness and regionalization”, so as to serve more local governments and Chinese enterprises, and make greater contributions to China’s higher-level opening-up. We cordially welcome friends from all circles to pay close attention to our work, and await enterprises to join the relevant mechanisms for common development.
