9月12日，第三届中国国际食品工业品牌博览会在西安国际会展中心开幕。中国产业海外发展协会会长和振伟、上海合作组织前秘书长、乌兹别克斯坦前外交部长诺罗夫出席开幕式并致辞。
诺罗夫在演讲中充分肯定中国在国际食品产业合作中的关键作用，特别强调中亚地区农业资源禀赋及对华合作潜力。他以乌兹别克斯坦为例介绍，2024年，乌兹别克斯坦向中国出口了14.4万吨水果和蔬菜，创收1.28亿美元，展现出广阔的合作前景。另外，中国在数字农业、智能物流和绿色技术方面的专业优势，将助力乌兹别克斯坦农业食品行业现代化进程。他还指出，应进一步打通物流瓶颈、统一质量标准、拓展精深加工，让更多优质农产品进入中国市场。我们可以共同构建稳定、可持续、互利的伙伴关系，期待合作共建更加健康、绿色和可持续的未来。
和振伟在致辞中表示，中国食品工业正迎来品牌出海的重大机遇。他提到，在RCEP框架下我国对东盟食品零关税品类已达68%，中欧班列长安号年内预计完成400万吨货运量，配套海外仓及冷链基地大幅提升物流效率。和振伟还分享了爱菊集团在哈萨克斯坦推行“订单农业+技术输出+文化融合”三位一体模式的成功经验，目前已带动500余户当地农民增收，成为中哈农业合作典范。
博览会期间，大会组委会秘书长刘培明陪同诺罗夫与和振伟会长参观了各特色展区，与企业代表进行深入交流，了解特色食品的发展状况。与会嘉宾表示，将继续加强在食品产业领域的国际沟通与合作，推动食品行业“走出去”发展。
和振伟呼吁各方以本届博览会为起点，在中海协搭建的合作平台上，推动更多中国食品品牌走向世界，让“中国味道”像兵马俑一样成为全球名片。
本届博览会不仅是一次行业盛会，更是中国食品工业全球化发展的新起点。未来，双方将在技术、贸易、投资等领域展开更广泛合作，共同书写食品产业全球共赢的新篇章。

President He Zhenwei Attends the 3rd China International Food Industry Brand Expo
On September 12, the 3rd China International Food Industry Brand Expo opened at Xi'an International Conference and Exhibition Center. He Zhenwei, President of the China Overseas Development Association (CODA), and Norov, former Secretary-General of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) and former Foreign Minister of Uzbekistan, attended the opening ceremony and delivered speeches.
Norov affirmed China's role in international food industry cooperation. He mentioned that in 2024, Uzbekistan exported 144,000 tons of fruits and vegetables to China, generating $128 million in revenue. He believed China's technologies in digital agriculture and other fields could help modernize Uzbekistan's agricultural sector, and called for breaking logistics bottlenecks and unifying quality standards to expand cooperation.
He Zhenwei pointed out that China's food industry is facing major opportunities for brand globalization. He noted that under the RCEP framework, 68% of China's food exports to ASEAN enjoy zero tariffs, and the China-Europe Railway Express "Chang'an" is expected to handle 4 million tons of cargo this year. He also shared the case of Aiju Group's "order-based agriculture + technology transfer + cultural integration" model in Kazakhstan, which has increased incomes for over 500 local farming households.
During the expo, Liu Peiming, Secretary-General of the Organizing Committee, accompanied the two to visit exhibition areas and exchange views with enterprise representatives. He Zhenwei called on all parties to take the expo as a starting point and leverage CODA's platform to promote more Chinese food brands to go global, making "Chinese flavors" a global name card.
In the future, both sides will deepen cooperation in food industry technology, trade, investment and other fields. Liu Jianqing, Deputy Secretary-General of CODA, and Liu Na, Director of the First Business Department of CODA, also attended the event.
