In Expo 2015, CCUP pursued the values inherited from Ancient Silk Road in terms of “Peaceful Cooperation”, “Open &Inclusive”, “mutual Learning” and “Mutual Benefit”. With these principles, for the first time, the pavilion gathered a large number of Chinese enterprises from different fields coming to Italy. Through comprehensive communication, business leaders from both two countries exchanged information, technology and ideas, which led to reach fruitful cooperating agreements eventually.
CCUP is willing to work as a bridge in the bilateral trade between China and Italy, and is also committed to realizing the final goal of mutual benefit. As An Jie Chen, director of CCUP organizing committee mentioned in his speech. With the final goal of mutual benefit, CCUP has already organized over 200 trade and cultural communication campaigns in Milan, attracted over 4000 business leaders from the two countries participating in these campaigns and reached over 200 agreements for cooperative willingness from the begging of Expo till now. In addition, CCUP also extended cooperative friendships to over 10 districts in Italy including Tuscany, Veneto, Biaimeng Large Area and so on. Cooperative fields covered almost 20 different industries like food producing, machinery manufacturing, fashion designing, tourism, financial investment etc,.
During the forum, a dialogue regarding topics of “Embrace the Chinese High-Speed train” and “The creative angle of China-Italy cooperation under ‘One Belt One Road’ strategy” offers new insight into the bilateral trade relationship between Italy and China. Scholars and entrepreneurs from the two countries shared their viewpoints about the development of economy with all the guests.
As a business card for the Chinese machinery manufacturing industry, Chinese High-Speed train attracts high attention around the world. Under this special circumstance, CCRC selects this date as “the Day of Chinese High-Speed Train” to commemorate its efforts toward internationalization. Jun Wan, Chair of Supervisory Board in CCRC Corporation Limited introduced its latest products and technologies to the guest, and awarded with big applause in the forum. As he said: “the Chinese high-speed train reflects the world first class level of the Chinese mechanical industry. We cherish this opportunity to introduce our products to Italy and to the world. I strongly believe high-speed train represents the future of our nation’s mechanical industry.”
According to the information released by the organizing committee, CCUP will be rebuilt in Shang Hai Harbor Industrial Park after 2015 Expo. This move symbolizes the beginning of After-Expo effects. CCUP will insist on its original purpose of serving Italian and Chinese enterprises in policy, capital, technology, human resources and other aspects. It will strive to act as a productive soil for enterprises from both Italy and China. (by Jin Wang)
