Jeffrey Leong, Executive Director and Chief Operating Officer of the Canada China Trade Council, mentioned that there are opportunities for cooperation, exchanges, and partnerships between companies from Canada and China in various fields. The Canada China Trade Council is happy to work with Chinese organizations to promote exchanges, help and ensure that Canadian companies make good use of platforms such as the China International Supply Chain Promotion Expo. Stephen Gerlson, President and CEO of the Toronto Region Board of Trade, stated that Canadian manufacturers are increasingly aware of the progress of China's advanced manufacturing industry and are eager to learn more information and leverage China's leading advantages in this area. He hopes to organize a delegation of manufacturers from Ontario to participate in the expo. The Canadian business community is optimistic about China's proactive signals to expand its openness, believing that deepening economic and trade cooperation with China is timely amidst profound changes in the global supply chain landscape. Canadian businesses look forward to using the expo as a bridge to deepen cooperation with Chinese companies in areas such as financial services, natural resources, advanced manufacturing, and agriculture and food.
