"China has been expanding its market access, setting up pilot free trade zones and free trade ports, improving the business environment to a large extent, and welcoming more participants in the Belt and Road Initiative. Opening-up has become a distinctive symbol of contemporary China," said Han.
At the opening ceremony, deputy head of the National Development and Reform Commission Ning Jizhe also pledged to introduce more measures to protect the rights of foreign investors and to open up more sectors to foreign investment.
"In the next step, we will further improve the management system of foreign investments.

We will also further shorten the negative list for foreign investment access, deepen the opening-up of agriculture, mining, manufacture and service industries, allowing wholly foreign-owned businesses in more sectors," said Ning.
