BEIJING, Sept. 16-- China's top political advisor Yu Zhengsheng sent a congratulatory letter to the 14th World Chinese Entrepreneurs Convention (WCEC), which kicked off in Myanmar on Saturday. As an important force in promoting global economic development, Chinese merchants have been working as bridges to enhance economic and trade cooperations between China and other countries, said Yu, chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. Since its birth in 1991, the biennial WCEC has been adhering to its tenet of "business is business and to carry forward Chinese national culture." Yu noted that with the support of Commerce Chambers and entrepreneurs all over the world, the WCEC has become an important platform for gathering global Chinese entrepreneurs and promoting exchanges and cooperation among all parties. Myanmar is located along the maritime Silk Road. In the joint efforts of Myanmar Chinese Chamber of Commerce and all delegates, this event will deepen mutual understanding and increase exchanges and cooperation between worldwide Chinese entrepreneurs and Myanmar's business community, Yu added. He also stressed that the "Belt and Road Initiative" has injected new vitality into global development, and provided new career opportunities for overseas Chinese. This year's convention is hosted by the Myanmar Chinese Chamber of Commerce and has gathered more than 2,000 overseas Chinese business leaders. |
