2023 coincides with the 10th anniversary of the Belt and Road Initiative

Guo Minghui, chief representative of the provincial government's economic and trade representative office in West Asia and Africa, pointed out that 2023 coincides with the 10th anniversary of the "Belt and Road" Initiative, and the UAE, as the meeting point of the land and Sea Silk Road, has always been the regional fulcrum of high-quality co-construction of the "Belt and Road". As an important core province of the "Belt and Road", Shandong Province and the Middle East region, especially with the United Arab Emirates and other countries, the market and industry are highly complementary, and the cooperation between the two sides has a solid foundation and broad prospects. Second-hand car trade is gradually playing an increasingly important role in bilateral trade, and in the first three quarters of 2023, Shandong Province exported more than 16 million US dollars of second-hand cars to the UAE. It is hoped that entrepreneurs of the two sides will seize the opportunity to actively connect and jointly promote the deepening and solid economic and trade cooperation between Shandong and the UAE.
