China’s Premier Li Qiang to deliver keynote at Shanghai import expo | investingLive

Chinese Premier Li Qiang will attend the opening of the China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai and deliver a keynote address, the Commerce Ministry announced via state media outlet Xinhua on Monday.

I haven’t spotted a confirmed time for his speech. Li is attending the opening so its reasonable to expect his keynote on that day (the 5th).

I do wonder if he’ll be announcing further economic support measures.

The annual event, running from November 5 to 10, serves as one of China’s flagship platforms to promote global trade and signal its commitment to market openness. Li’s participation underscores Beijing’s efforts to attract foreign investment and bolster confidence in China’s economic outlook amid external pressures and slowing global demand.

Li’s attendance and keynote at the import expo will likely reinforce Beijing’s message of economic openness and support for global trade, offering a modest confidence boost for investors tracking China’s policy tone.
