He noted that China's economy is making progress while maintaining overall stability, and pushing forward with innovation-led and high-quality development, adding that China welcomes multinational corporations to increase investment in China and continuously deepen mutually beneficial cooperation.

Representatives of the multinational corporations expressed confidence in China's economy and stated their readiness to further explore the Chinese market and continue to expand investment in China.
