开罗，4月24日（新华社）-第七届中国国际进口博览会（CIIE）的推广活动于周二晚上在开罗举行，吸引了150多名埃及官员和商贸代表参加。

A delegation from the CIIE Bureau briefed the guests on the characteristics and achievements of the CIIE, describing the annual international gathering as a platform that provides opportunities for enterprises to explore the Chinese market and share the fruits of China's development.

CIIE代表团向嘉宾介绍了CIIE的特点和成就，称一年一度的国际聚会是为企业开拓中国市场、分享中国发展成果提供机会的平台。

Since its first session in 2018, the expo has successfully promoted various foreign products in the Chinese market through win-win partnerships, said Li Guoqing, deputy director of the CIIE Bureau.

CIIE局副局长李国庆表示，自2018年第一届世博会以来，通过双赢的伙伴关系，世博会成功地将各种外国产品推向了中国市场。

Li added that as the guest of honor country at the first CIIE, Egypt has participated in the expo for six consecutive years, expressing a warm welcome for the participation of Egyptian enterprises at this year's CIIE to bring more high-quality and featured products to China and the world at large.

李国庆还表示，作为首届CIIE的主宾国，埃及已经连续六年参加中国国际进口博览会，热烈欢迎埃及企业参加本届中国国际进口博览会，为中国乃至世界带来更多优质特色产品。

"It (the CIIE) represents a great opportunity for Egyptian companies to showcase and market their products globally," Chairman of the Egypt Expo and Convention Authority Sherif Al Mawardy told Xinhua.

埃及博览会和会议管理局主席谢里夫·阿勒马瓦迪告诉新华社，“CIIE为埃及公司在全球展示和营销其产品提供了一个绝佳的机会。”

Sherif Yehia, first vice chairman of the Cairo Chamber of Commerce, said the CIIE does not only focus on large companies but also invites small and medium-sized enterprises, startups, and emerging businesses to participate and find a place for themselves in the vast Chinese market.

开罗商会第一副主席谢里夫·叶海亚表示，CIIE不仅关注大公司，还邀请中小企业、初创企业和新兴企业参与，并在广阔的中国市场上找到自己的一席之地。

Highly commending the CIIE's success in the past years, Mohamed Youssef, executive director of the Egyptian Businessmen's Association, stressed that holding the exhibition will have a strong positive impact on the global economy that is still limping along.

埃及商人协会执行董事穆罕默德·优素福高度赞扬了CIIE在过去几年中取得的成功，他强调说，中国国际进口博览会的将对仍在蹒跚前行的全球经济产生巨大的积极影响。

During the event, Zhang Chaoyang, minister of the Chinese embassy in Egypt, said the CIIE provides opportunities for countries to promote their image and fully display their products, also facilitating the entry of various players into the Chinese market.

在活动期间，中国驻埃及大使馆公使张朝阳表示，CIIE为各国提供了提升形象和充分展示产品的机会，也为各种参与者进入中国市场提供了便利。

Zhang added that the CIIE aims to help countries around the world, including Egypt, to widely participate in and integrate into the global industrial chain, supply chain, and value chain, promoting common development and prosperity as well as the inclusive growth of the global economy.

张补充说，CIIE旨在帮助包括埃及在内的世界各国广泛参与和融入全球产业链、供应链和价值链，促进共同发展繁荣，推动全球经济的包容性增长。

The event was organized by the Chinese embassy in Egypt, the CIIE Bureau, and the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), in cooperation with the Egypt-China Trade Center and with the support of a number of Egyptian bodies.
