Global community comes together to promote Chongqing brands

The first batch of Chongqing brands to be promoted overseas — like Chongqing hotpot, Chongqing noodles, Fuling pickled mustard tuber (or Fuling zhacai), the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River and the City of Hot Springs — included in six promotion categories were released at the "China, an Opportunity: Chongqing Brands Global Promotion Launching Ceremony" held in the southwestern municipality on Saturday.

On the same day, the 2024 Land-Sea Economic Forum kicked off in the city. It had attracted more than 200 guests from over 20 countries including Singapore, the United States, Argentina and Germany to share insights on helping Chongqing enterprises and "Chongqing-made" products go global.

The event was co-hosted by the Western China International Communication Organization, CITIC Press Group and China Watch, a think tank powered by China Daily.

Later on the same day, a research report on the overseas development of Chinese enterprises (2024) was released by China Securities at the forum.

As part of the event, envoys from nine countries — including ambassadors to China from Argentina, Cambodia, Honduras, Nepal, Nicaragua and Pakistan; the minister from Germany; and counselors from Serbia and Singapore - kicked off a four-day visit to Chongqing on Thursday. They visited several districts in Chongqing such as Yuzhong, Liangping, Fuling and Dazu to experience the city's unique landscape, culture and industries.
