With the optimization of epidemic prevention and control measures, it is time to call on everyone to ‘go overseas’ to do business. , don’t be afraid of anything.”

In fact, it is not the first time that Zhejiang organized a group to “go to sea”. The staff member said, “Before the epidemic, our business department held overseas exhibitions every year. At that time, we would lead companies to go abroad dozens of times a year. After the epidemic, such overseas activities have become online. For example, Video conference or online exhibition, but the effect is not as good as offline, and the negotiation is not sufficient.”

The staff member also pointed out that this type of activity is actually a normal operation, “This time I went to more than 30 people, and it was not a chartered flight. It just departed on the same day. It is actually a relatively ordinary activity. It is only based on the current situation. This situation just conforms to the national policy, which makes it so special, and I did not expect it to receive so much attention.”

The growth of Zhejiang’s import and export trade is stable. This “going to sea” is not an exception in Zhejiang Province.

On December 6th, Ningbo once again “organized a delegation”.
