The planned calendar of activities aims to translate strategic talks into tangible contracts and investment commitments.
Implications for bilateral trade and private sector competitiveness
Officials said stronger cooperation with Jiangsu could contribute to higher bilateral trade volumes and enhanced competitiveness for the private sectors in both economies.
