An economic and trade promotion event for enterprise representatives from Linyi, Shandong, was held in Linyi in March, aiming to bridge local enterprises with middle Asian markets and improve economic and trade cooperation between Linyi and Uzbekistan.

The event attracted over 100 Linyi enterprise representatives, who received helpful market information and policy support.

As a key economy in Central Asia, Uzbekistan has seen increasingly close economic and trade cooperation with China in recent years, making it a promising new market for Linyi products.

During the event, a representative from Linyi Trade City said that the trade city will leverage the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) to accelerate its internationalization, with a focus on helping local enterprises expand overseas. Policies covering financial support, logistics subsidies, and brand promotion provide strong guarantees for entrepreneurs.

The 2025 Linyi Trade City Quality Products (Uzbekistan) Expo is being held in Uzbekistan from May 11 to 13, injecting new vitality into the cooperation between the two sides and serving as a testament to the effectiveness of the BRI.
