On November 6, the signing ceremony of SINOMACH trading sub-delegation to the 3rd China International Import Expo (the 3rd CIIE) took place at the 7.2 hall of the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai). At the signing ceremony, CMEC signed agreements on strategic cooperation and projects with the General Electric, ARJES and Belarus Eurasia Investment Group Co., Ltd., respectively, so as to make active use of overseas market experience and resources to promote the development of the domestic market and strive to advance and serve the new development paradigm with the two circulations reinforcing each other.

In the face of the severe impacts made by the COVID-19 on the global economy, SINOMACH fully implements the general principle of “unswervingly and comprehensively expanding opening up” and the requirements on “more effectively linking the domestic and overseas markets and sharing factors and resources”, which were put forward by Chinese President Xi Jinping. At the 3rd CIIE, SINOMACH played a key role as a central enterprise and signed eight agreements with its eight international partners, amounting to over USD5 billion, so as to jointly cope with the economic risks and challenges caused by the COVID-19, share the opportunities of China’s development, and promote the recovery of world economy.

The cooperation is not only an effective practice of using overseas experience and resources to develop domestic markets by means of resources import and “a new development paradigm with the two circulations reinforcing each other”, but also a useful attempt to adjust its business layout, expand its domestic markets and develop wind power projects in China under the new normal of epidemic prevention and control.

CMEC and ARJES High-tech Co., Ltd. signed the ARJES- CMEC Circular Economy Industrial Park Project Cooperation Agreement.

CMEC and Belarus Eurasia Investment Group Co., Ltd. signed a package of MOUs for cooperation in trade, people’s livelihood, smelting and transport. Specifically, the electrolytic aluminum project will be designed by the Chinese side and its products will be manufactured in China and follow the Chinese standards, thereby effectively solving the problems of excess electricity and filling in the gaps of the non-ferrous metal metallurgy industry, significantly promoting local economic development, providing local residents with jobs, and making contributions to economic & trade exchanges between the two countries, the implementation of the “Belt & Road” initiative and “going global” of Chinese elements.
