On July 26, 2022, China Construction Bank (DIFC Branch) together with China Construction Bank Zhejiang Branch, Dubai Chamber of Commerce and China National Building Material Group FZE (CNBM), cohosted the E-commerce and Overseas Warehouse Online Matchmaking Conference which was a great success with more than 350 online attendees.
At the conference, esteemed guests from Dubai Chamber of Commerce, China National Building Material Group FZE, IMile Delivery, AGG Power Technology and Solutions ME FZCO shared with the attendees, initiatives and plans to improve ease of doing business, digital economy development opportunities, specific business promotion and cooperation experiences of overseas warehouses.
The meeting focused on lowering logistics cost, shortening market links, improving distribution efficiency and helping the Chinese enterprises enter local markets. This is conducive to promoting cross-border economic cooperation between China and the UAE, reinforcing China’s directive of requesting enterprises to "Expand Overseas". After the live broadcast, CNBM and IMile Delivery held 10 one-on-one talks with representatives from some Chinese enterprises, with the event achieving favorable results.
Cross-border e-commerce and overseas warehouses have become a new highlight of foreign trade development and a strong element to promote the "Belt and Road Initiative". China-UAE cross border e-commerce and overseas warehouses are at the forefront of China-UAE digital cooperation, connecting the digital and real economies of the two countries with broad prospects for cooperation. With "CCB Match Plus" platform, CCB DIFC Branch will continue to assist domestic Chinese companies to explore business opportunities in the UAE. The branch will continue to practice the concept of "new finance", and cooperate with domestic and foreign institutions to promote Chinese enterprises to "go global" and contribute to the "dual circulation strategy".
