WANG JING/CHINA DAILY President Xi Jinping reaffirmed on Thursday China's commitment to advancing high-quality development through high-level opening-up and further opening its service market in an orderly manner, in a congratulatory message to the 2024 China International Fair for Trade in Services. The CIFTIS, which has been successfully held for 10 years, is a vivid testament to the high-quality development of China's service sector and trade, the president said. In doing so, China seeks to promote the interoperability and compatibility of regulations, standards and management in the services sector, while steadily expanding market access and enhancing platforms for open service trade, he said. Mohammed Al Ajlan, chairman of the Saudi-Chinese Business Council, said he has witnessed tremendous changes and maintained long-term confidence in China's high-quality economic development and increasing openness, especially in the areas of trade in services and technology growth, since his company's entry into the Chinese market.
