Spokesperson's Remarks｜China welcomes foreign businesses to seize opportunities and invest in China

China welcomes foreign businesses to seize opportunities, invest in China, prepare for the future, promote steady global growth, oppose unilateralism and protectionism, and achieve greater development through mutually beneficial cooperation, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said on Tuesday.

Guo made the remarks at a regular press conference when asked to comment on the China Development Forum 2025 held in Beijing these days. It's reported that the theme of this year's forum is "Unleashing Development Momentum for Stable Growth of Global Economy." Political figures from many countries and heads of multinationals attended the forum.

Guo said that from March 23 to 24, the China Development Forum 2025 was held in Beijing. Premier of the State Council Li Qiang attended the opening ceremony and delivered a keynote speech. He encouraged all parties to feel China's vibrancy through its economic growth during the Spring Festival, understand China's economic policies through the two sessions, and think about the right way to world development and progress through the evolving global landscape. His speech shows China's confidence and resolve in continuing the good momentum of steady economic growth as well as its commitment to acting as a force of stability and certainty for world peace and development.

"This year's forum is attended by over 750 foreign representatives, including global companies from a larger number of countries covering more sectors. Among these multinationals, the first-time attendees outnumber the previous years. All these show that foreign-invested businesses continue to invest in China with optimism, which is a vote of confidence in China's economic outlook." Guo added.

Guo pointed out that China will steadfastly advance high-quality development and high-standard opening up. (By Ma Ziqian/China Youth Daily)
