From May 5th to 12th, a small investment promotion team from Anqing City went to the United Arab Emirates and Italy to engage in investment promotion, participate in exhibitions, and other exchange activities. During its visit to the UAE, the team focused on investment promotion in the international logistics field for the Qianshan Public-Type Bonded Warehouse and signed a framework cooperation agreement with Dubai Cititrans Express International Logistics Group. Adhering to the principle of "government guidance, enterprise-led, market-oriented", this year, Anhui province has used both centralized and decentralized, group and individual methods to expand foreign trade, seize orders, and attract foreign investment.
