Despite the challenges facing the global economy and a tough trading environment, the Chinese economy has shown strong resilience. The fair has played a positive role in China's continued promotion of global trade, and sent a positive signal to overseas companies interested in expanding their business in China, especially in the area of trade in services, she said.

安黛文认为，尽管全球经济面临挑战，贸易环境艰难，中国经济依然表现出强大韧性。服贸会为中国继续促进国际贸易发挥了积极作用，对有意来华拓展业务的海外公司发出了积极信号，向国际合作伙伴、服务贸易领域的企业打开了中国的大门。
