The procurement representatives of major United Nations agencies and organizations will attend Shunde to guide Shunde in person, and train a group of international bid specialists who understand, can bid and win the bid for Shunde, which will greatly promote Shunde enterprises to develop the procurement business of the group government.

We hope that enterprises will actively participate in the UN Procurement, increase their international market operation capacity, and make use of multiple trade channels to continue to contribute to the high-quality development of foreign trade in the region.

In his speech, vice secretary general Zhang Jing said that the United Nations, as the largest international organization in the world, has to carry out a large number of procurement activities every year to maintain self-use, peacekeeping, humanitarian emergency rescue and development assistance.

In 2019, the total procurement of 39 UN agencies reached US $19.893 billion, but the Chinese goods suppliers won about 1.71 billion dollars in the United Nations procurement market, about $75million in services, accounting for 1.2% of the United Nations procurement. Many Chinese products were purchased by the United Nations through foreign agents.

We hope to help and promote Shunde and domestic enterprises to master the relevant rules and paths of UN Procurement, strengthen business exchanges with UN procurement agencies, participate in the global service actions of the United Nations and expand new international market development paths through today's training and exchanges.

It is reported that, after years of efforts, Shunde has more than 500 enterprises becoming registered suppliers of UN Procurement (among which, the enterprises have successfully obtained the United Nations purchase order), covering the industries of household appliances, electronics, furniture, clothing, machinery and coating. It has laid a solid foundation for improving the international market competitiveness of high-end products and optimizing the international trade structure.
