      Chinese premier urges China, UAE enterprises to seize new cooperation opportunities

      Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Thursday called on enterprises from China and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to seize new cooperation opportunities through continued and steadfast mutual efforts of both countries.

      Li, who is paying an official visit to the UAE, made the remarks while addressing the UAE-China Business Forum held in Dubai.

      Noting that China-UAE relations are at a historic juncture and economic and trade cooperation is at a crucial point for upgrading, Li expressed hope that business sectors of both countries will seize the major trend and open up new opportunities for cooperation.

      First, he called on enterprises from China and the UAE to seize the new opportunities of high-quality Belt and Road cooperation. The two countries should base their cooperation on bilateral relations while keeping a global perspective to explore partnerships and expand markets, he said.

      It is hoped that the two countries could deepen cooperation in areas such as connectivity, infrastructure development and financing to promote their deeper integration into global industrial and supply chains, he said.

      Secondly, the premier called on China and the UAE to seize the new opportunities of synergizing their respective development strategies. The two countries should identify more areas of shared interests and opportunities for cooperation from the intersection of their strategic priorities, and deepen cooperation in trade, new energy, tourism, and other sectors, Li added.

      Thirdly, he urged both sides to jointly seize the burgeoning opportunities in technological and industrial innovation, harness innovation as a driving force, and advance cooperation in cutting-edge fields such as advanced manufacturing, the digital economy, and artificial intelligence, and work together to seize future development opportunities.

      More UAE companies are welcome to invest in China, Li said, expressing his confidence that with the joint efforts of entrepreneurs from both countries, bilateral economic and trade cooperation will continue to thrive, further promoting the development and prosperity of both countries.

      This year marks the 40th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the UAE, Li said, noting that since then, bilateral ties have matured, with economic and trade cooperation yielding fruitful results.

      Behind this lies a profound inevitability, which is rooted in the long-standing trade traditions of the two countries, aligned development philosophies, and shared values, Li said, adding that China-UAE economic and trade exchanges have spanned over a millennium and are closely intertwined, with their friendship and trust continually deepening.

      Both China and the UAE have actively embraced economic globalization, worked together to create miracles of development through opening-up, and promoted mutual benefit and win-win results through cooperation, he said.

      The premier said that both China and the UAE belong to the Asian family, and the Asian people have a firm and persistent desire for peace, unity and cooperation and have made unremitting efforts to this end.

      Noting that Asia has generally enjoyed peace, stability and rapid development in the past few decades, Li said that this common pursuit of value is even more valuable amidst global changes and turmoil, and thus should be cherished and upheld.

      Over 200 representatives from the governments, chambers of commerce, and businesses of China and the UAE attended the forum.

      UAE business representatives spoke highly of China's development dynamism and market potential, expressing their eagerness to increase investment in China under the framework of Belt and Road cooperation, and to strengthen collaboration in areas such as infrastructure, technological innovation and energy, so as to achieve mutual benefit and win-win outcomes.

      China launches new campaign to boost employment among college graduates

      2025-01-21 22:23 Last Updated At:22:37

      China's Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security has launched a special action plan to boost the employment of college graduates across the country, said an official with the ministry at a press conference in Beijing on Tuesday.

      Zhang Wenmiao, director of the Human Resource Mobility Management Department under the ministry, said the project has mobilized 251,000 employers to provide about 4.77 million job positions across the country. Over 6,138 human resource service agencies participated in it, attracting 2.86 million job seekers, including college graduates. Among them, 585,000 reached preliminary employment agreements.

      "The employment service campaign focuses primarily on the 2025 cohort of college graduates, as well as those from previous years who remain unemployed after graduation, and participants in grassroots programs such as the 'Three Supports and One Assistance' plan (a program that sends college graduates to rural areas to support education, agriculture, healthcare and poverty alleviation). We have mobilized a range of human resource service agencies, national human resource service industry parks, and talent markets to widely offer market-oriented job positions. We have also innovated recruitment methods by organizing a series of activities, including online and offline job fairs, live-streaming recruitment events, and bringing human resource services directly to college campuses," the official said.

      The ministry also introduced new policies to support employment and entrepreneurship for young people. These measures include expanding public sector job opportunities, encouraging private sector recruitment, and encouraging graduates to seek employment in grassroots communities and small- and medium-sized enterprises.

      In total, the ministry offered job-seeking subsidies to over 2 million disadvantaged college graduates, particularly those from low-income urban families, rural poor families, and families with disabled members.
