Aaron Tang, president of Karcher Great China

President Xi Jinping's keynote speech has given us more confidence in the development of the China market. We believe China will continue to improve the business environment and provide foreign companies with a fair, transparent, and healthy market and development environment during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. Under the circumstance of the world economic recovery, the significance of the CIIE goes far beyond buying a certain amount of foreign goods and services.

As a major platform for international procurements, investment promotion, cultural exchanges and open cooperation, the CIIE is a creative example that shows how China explores more efficient ways to connect domestic and foreign markets and shares factors of production and resources with the world. And it will also inject impetus into the global trade and economy. We are glad to attend this grand-scale event, and hope to contribute to the global economic recovery.

For Karcher, China's persistence in opening-up is the biggest attraction and Karcher will continue to invest in and cultivate the China market. Based on expertise in the cleaning industry, Karcher in the future will leverage the potential of the R&D center and production base in China, and fully utilize both domestic and international markets and resources to help push the dual-circulation development, as well as provide both China and global consumers with a better cleaning experience.
