The 5th China Liaoning International Fair for Investment and Trade opened in Shenyang, Northeast China's Liaoning province, on Sept 26. 

Gao Yunlong, vice-chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, delivered a speech at the opening ceremony of the fair, which was themed around developing new quality productive forces. 

Gao said the fair is a key platform for advancing the opening-up of China's northeastern region, and has become a prominent symbol of the area's efforts in this regard. 

He emphasized that the third plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has sent a strong signal on expanding high-quality opening-up. This will involve building a new pattern of opening-up that is on a broader agenda, across more areas and in greater depth, fostering a more inclusive environment with an institutional system in line with international practice, strengthening mutually-beneficial and win-win cooperation to promote the building of an open world economy, boosting innovation-driven development, and sharing China’s achievements on the path to modernization to provide fresh opportunities for the world, he said. 

Gao acknowledged Liaoning's efforts in fully implementing the three-year action plan for comprehensive revitalization aimed at making new breakthroughs and accelerating the province's high-quality development. He encouraged participants to seize the opportunities presented by the fair to explore partnerships and expand cooperation to achieve mutually beneficial results and contribute to the prosperity of the global economy.
