The curatorial direction of the service trade exhibition area of this year's CIIE released on the official website is to follow the "new" starting, with the theme of "New quality leadership, Service for the future", and introduce new momentum for new quality productivity through the expansion of various sectors again.
Industry insiders believe that the curatorial direction of the service trade exhibition area is a vivid footnote to the "new" development of service trade. At present, China's service trade is growing rapidly and has become an important force to stabilize the basic plate of foreign trade. In the context of a more complex and severe external environment, policies are expected to strengthen the innovative development of trade in services, accelerate the development of digital trade, cultivate new drivers of foreign trade and create new advantages.
Upgrade digital trade
As an important part of service trade, digital trade has developed rapidly in recent years. According to the World Trade Organization, China's total trade in digital delivery services will reach 366.61 billion U.S. dollars in 2023. Among them, the export of digital delivery services was 207.01 billion US dollars, achieving a surplus of 47.41 billion US dollars.
In order to lead the development of the digital trade industry, the Ministry of Commerce recently established the digital trade industry standardization Technical Committee. The relevant person in charge of the Department of Trade in Services and commercial Services of the Ministry of Commerce recently revealed that the establishment of the digital trade industry standardization Technical Committee by the Ministry of Commerce is a basic and overall work to promote the innovation and development of digital trade. It is hoped that the standard Committee will speed up the establishment of rules and regulations, further improve the digital trade standardization system, management system and rule system, strengthen the formulation of standards in key areas of digital trade, and do a good job in the implementation and dissemination of standards to lead the development of the digital trade industry.
In order to broaden the channels of digital trade cooperation, relevant departments are accelerating the construction of digital trade exhibition platforms, building the global digital trade Expo into an international brand exhibition and leading exhibition in the field of digital trade, giving play to the role of important exhibition platforms such as the import Expo and the Service Trade Fair, and broadening the channels of digital trade cooperation.
