For his part, Sufeng expressed great satisfaction regarding the signing of the MoU between the Bahrain Chamber and CCPIT, marking a pivotal framework for aligning efforts to advance bilateral relations and foster partnerships benefiting both sides. He emphasized that under this MoU, CCPIT is committed to supporting the business sector and paving the way for a thriving future.

 

He highlighted the Bahraini business community's strong interest in the Chinese market and highlighted CCPIT's eagerness to strengthen communication with the Bahrain Chamber. This includes deepening economic cooperation through initiatives like mutual visits, forums, and information exchange, aimed at ensuring the sustainability of economic and trade relations between China and Bahrain.
