This forum also garnered attention from business communities of various countries and ethnicities, including ambassadors and consuls general from Greece, Turkey, Colombia, El Salvador, Peru, Grenada, and Guyana, among others. They were all invited to participate and delivered national speeches, promoting their respective countries' and communities' business development plans in Canada to the Canadian business community and the Chinese community.
The Canadian business community actively responded to this forum. James Black, Vice President of the Listings Department at the Canadian Securities Exchange, Todd Bourgon, Chairman of the Ontario Automobile Association, Chris Pereira, President of North American Ecological Investment Company, and the two chairpersons of the summit, Justin Poy and Mel Cohen, all delivered speeches
Charlie Wang, a partner from the renowned investment firm Celt Asia, also traveled a great distance from Vancouver to participate in the forum. In addition to delivering an engaging speech, he also took part in a three-person panel where he answered questions from the audience, becoming one of the highlights of the day. Xue Haiqing, an angel investor from the West Coast, shared his speech via audio. Representatives from member companies of the Xinflix Entrepreneurs Chamber of Commerce were also all in attendance that day.
Mr. Xu Qiang, the chief representative of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, delivered a keynote speech titled 'The Potential and Outlook of Sino-Canadian Economic and Trade Relations'. He conveyed the Chinese government’s steadfast determination to continue its policies of reform and opening up, and introduced China's 'three major economic and trade exchange platforms' aimed at fostering international openness. This statement was immediately reported by major official media outlets such as China News Service, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, and East Money, highlighting its significant impact.
Ms. Wu Wanjing, Director of the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office, also attended the event to introduce the latest updates from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. Following the pandemic, Hong Kong has canceled all travel testing and restrictions, returning to pre-pandemic conditions, and is now openly welcoming business partners and tourists from around the world.
After the forum concluded, Hong Kong's official media promptly provided comprehensive coverage of the forum and Ms. Wu Wanjing's speech. Earlier this year, during the Spring Tea Gathering hosted by Xinflix Media, Deputy Consul General Cheng Hongbo of the Chinese Consulate General in Toronto delivered a 15-minute speech at Xinflix Group, discussing China's foreign trade policies. The use of civil commercial events by official organizations to release policy orientations is no longer an incidental occurrence, reflecting the significance of this forum from another perspective.
This 11-hour economic and trade Summit, in addition to a rich agenda of keynote speeches and business presentations, also included networking sessions. 'Good Taste' Catering provided breakfast, lunch, and dinner, turning the event into a joyful gathering. Furthermore, Xinflix Group, while ensuring the consistently high quality of the event’s atmosphere, opened up all its venue resources, allowing sponsors to set up booths within the venue to promote their businesses and sell their products. This made it a lively business gathering filled with the unique characteristics of the Chinese community.
