Stabilizing foreign trade still requires collective efforts
Looking at the whole year, the industry believes that the external risks of the stable development of China's foreign trade are still severe。It is still necessary for all parties to work together to further exert the effectiveness of the policy of promoting the continuation of foreign trade and give full play to the leading role of the major foreign trade provinces in the national trade sector。
Ministry of Commerce spokesperson Shu Jueting said at a regular press conference recently that local and enterprises generally reflect the weakening of external demand, and the decline in orders is the biggest challenge facing the development of foreign trade this year。There are also increased trade risks, such as poor payment collection in some countries。On the basis of extensive and in-depth research, the Ministry of Commerce is working with relevant departments to study stable foreign trade policies for local and enterprise needs, and promote stable scale and optimal structure of foreign trade。
Local stabilization of foreign trade is also continuing to make efforts。Recently, Qu Yuekuan, Standing Committee member and Vice Mayor of Binzhou Municipal Committee of Shandong Province, led a delegation to visit Japan to comprehensively deepen exchanges and cooperation in the fields of economy, trade and investment。According to Binzhou Bureau of Commerce, in the next step, the city will also visit South Korea and Singapore to carry out relevant promotion fairs, expand the introduction of foreign capital, and docking cross-border e-commerce and overseas exhibition and sales trade platforms。

Chen Jia said that from the perspective of the trend of global trade goods, the consumer electronics market has not yet fully ushered in the spring, the growth rate of traditional electromechanical and high-tech products is slowing down, and the green energy field is bucking the trend。In response to these latest changes, it is necessary for China to accelerate innovation in trade structure and trade policies, further optimize and stabilize foreign trade policies and measures, and point out the development direction and add growth momentum for the majority of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises。
When it comes to promoting the steady development of foreign trade, how should various places make efforts, Cui Xiaomin suggested that the first is to diversify trading partners, disperse the dependence on the demand of a single country, and improve the quality and level of international circulation。In particular, we should give full play to the effectiveness of existing economic and trade agreements and increase trade cooperation with Asian and European enterprises。Second, we will continue to optimize the business environment, reduce trade and investment barriers, and improve the competitiveness of export markets, including strengthening the construction of public services such as transport systems, customs declaration and inspection, and improving public service platforms for cross-border e-commerce。
