Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, friends, good afternoon everyone,

Today we are gathered here to discuss how Chinese private enterprises can better participate in Asia-Pacific economic integration and the construction of the “Belt and Road”. This is a hot issue that is currently of concern to China’s economic community. Beijing Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation Promotion Association, China’s international economic cooperation The association and the China Finance and Economics magazine jointly organized such a meeting here, which is very timely and conforms to the needs of the vast number of private enterprises in China. It was just held at the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. It is proposed to focus on the construction of the “Belt and Road” and form a link between the land and the sea, and the two-way mutual benefit and open cooperation. It is also of great political significance. I am very honored and happy to be invited to attend today's meeting and make a speech. Seeing so many private entrepreneurs attending the conference fully reflects the ardent expectations of private entrepreneurs for the enthusiasm for the construction of the “Belt and Road”. I believe that today’s meeting will be a better participation for Chinese private entrepreneurs in the future. “All the way” construction has played a very positive role in promoting and promoting.

With regard to the big strategy of the Belt and Road Initiative, there have been many discussions on various aspects. Today I am going to talk about it again. Based on the theme of today's meeting, combined with my feelings of working in Germany for many years, I would like to focus on how Chinese companies can better go abroad and talk about successful personal entrepreneurship in foreign countries. As a guide to discussion, it is a good place to talk about it. Welcome to criticize and correct.
