Supply-demand match-making meeting for 8th CIIE held in Shanghai

The third pre-expo supply-demand matchmaking meeting for the eighth China International Import Expo (CIIE) was held at National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai on Friday, with several companies saying that they will debut new products.

The meeting focused on sectors including intelligent industry, information technology, automobile and smart mobility.

A total of 15 relevant companies and nearly 50 buyers attended the event.

"The spillover effects of the CIIE have greatly accelerated the pace of our investment layout in China. The CIIE has played a great role in facilitating the launch of our new products. From January to June this year, our sales grew by 42 percent, promoting the headquarters in Germany to accelerate investment in production as well as research and development in China," said Zhang Yixuan, general manager of Public Affairs with Karcher China.

"The CIIE has always been an excellent platform to present our latest technologies and products. This year, our new offerings focus more on green and low-carbon technologies, sustainable development, and creating value in the circular economy," said Wu Junyi, vice president of Michelin China.

The eighth CIIE will take place in Shanghai from Nov. 5 to 10.

The UN must resolutely defend the victorious outcomes of World War II and reject any attempt to revive militarism, said China's Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Sun Lei on Thursday. 

Sun made the remarks to the UN General Assembly (UNGA), following UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres who addressed the meeting on priorities for 2026.

Guterres emphasized the three principles that guide the world body's work in 2026: adherence to the UN Charter, peace with justice -- peace between nations and peace with nature, and unity in an age of division.

All nations must resolutely uphold the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, said Sun.

"The UN must resolutely defend the victorious outcomes of World War II and uphold the post-war international order, firmly oppose unilateralism and hegemony, and reject any attempt to revive militarism," he said.

The Chinese envoy said countries must advance the three pillars in a balanced manner.

"Peace and security, development, and human rights are mutually reinforcing, and none should be neglected," he said.

He also stressed reforming and improving global governance. 

"China will work with all parties to firmly support multilateralism and the international system with the UN at its core, maintain peace, promote development, and advance the building of a community with a shared future for humanity," said Sun.
