On April 28th, Norwegian time, the 8th China International Import Expo (CIIE for short) Norway Promotion Symposium was successfully held in Oslo. This was the second time that the CIIE promotion event had been held in Norway.

China has now become Norway's largest trading partner in Asia, with bilateral trade volume exceeding 130.916 billion US dollars in 2024. Chinese and Norwegian enterprises continue to be optimistic about each other's markets: China's exports and investment in Norway have accelerated its dual transformation towards green and digital development; Norway is an important trade and investment partner of it in Europe. The steadily improving win-win cooperative relationship between China and Norway has gradually expanded the ranks of Norwegian enterprises participating in the China International Import Expo. Nowadays, the expo has become an important platform for Norwegian enterprises to enter the Chinese market.

At the meeting, the situation of the CIIE presented in detail the achievements and highlights of the 2024 CIIE to the attending guests. The enterprises on the spot responded enthusiastically and had a strong willingness to participate. It is worth noting that on the basis of confirming its participation in the 8th China International Import Expo in the "early batch", NYO3 signed the 9th "Memorandum of Cooperation" at this promotion meeting, becoming the first and only Norwegian enterprise to secure a spot in the 9th expo in advance, providing a good example for Norwegian enterprises to increase their investment in the Chinese market.

As the world's first national-level exhibition with import as its theme, the China International Import Expo (CIIE) continuously provides an efficient platform for international trade, investment and industrial cooperation. Ge Hong, deputy director of the China International Import Expo Bureau, introduced at the promotion meeting: "Since the first China International Import Expo was held in 2018, more than 100 Norwegian enterprises have showcased their technological achievements and high-quality products at the expo, broadening the choices for Chinese consumers." Chen Wenlin, the Economic and commercial counselor of the People's Republic of China in Norway, said: "China is unswervingly promoting high-level opening up to the outside world. Walking with China means walking with opportunities and the future." We look forward to continuous positive results in practical cooperation in various fields between the two countries and enabling more Norwegian enterprises to achieve excellent results in the Chinese market.

The year 2024 marks the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Norway.

Under the witness of the leaders of both China and Norway, the "70th Anniversary of the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations Commemorative Edition Krill Oil" was officially released.

With its exclusive water-soluble Marine phospholipids, it achieves an efficient absorption rate of 98%, presenting top-quality Norwegian nutrition as a tribute to the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Norway.
