Qi QuanshengIn his speech, he congratulated the event and pointed out that this event is a practical action for the Shanghai overseas Chinese community to deeply implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party. It is also another themed event organized by the city's overseas Chinese federation to jointly serve high-level opening up after the successful holding of the 2024 "Overseas Chinese Connect the World: Shanghai Import Expo" themed event. The vast overseas Chinese enterprises and Chinese businessmen are an important force in the high-quality co-construction of the "Belt and Road". Comprehensive, professional, and efficient overseas legal services can help overseas Chinese enterprises and businessmen seize opportunities, avoid and resolve risks, and achieve stable and sustainable development. Overseas Chinese federations at all levels in Shanghai will actively play a bridging role, relying on Shanghai's global resource allocation capabilities and the strength of foreign-related legal professional institutions, to strengthen contact with overseas Chinese groups and chambers of commerce, and assist the overseas Chinese community in participating in the stable and far-reaching co-construction of the "Belt and Road".

Shao WanquanIt was stated that the co-construction of the "Belt and Road" injects new vitality into economic cooperation and brings new opportunities to the legal service industry. The Lawyers Association is committed to providing comprehensive, professional, and efficient legal services to assist Chinese and Shanghai enterprises in participating in the co-construction of the "Belt and Road" and safeguarding their legitimate rights and interests. This event has built a platform for communication and docking among the legal, overseas Chinese, and business communities, promoting the rule of law to provide solid legal guarantees for the "Belt and Road". The Municipal Lawyers Association will actively respond to the national call for high-quality co-construction of the "Belt and Road", promote the internationalization and specialization of the legal profession, strengthen research and practice, improve service quality, and enhance the legal awareness and risk prevention capabilities of overseas Chinese enterprises and businessmen. The Municipal Lawyers Association has formed a foreign-related lawyer working group to sort out overseas outlet information and provide comprehensive legal service guarantees for enterprises.

Wang ShanliangIt was stated that Dacheng Shanghai always adheres to the development concept of specialization, scale, internationalization, and branding, actively participating in major project construction in the co-construction of the "Belt and Road", and safeguarding the overseas investment of Chinese and Shanghai enterprises; always actively providing efficient and high-quality legal services for overseas Chinese individuals and enterprises. The law firm has more than 200 overseas returnee lawyers and established the Overseas Chinese Federation in 2016, actively responding to the call of the China Overseas Chinese Federation, and setting up a "Diverse Resolution Center for Overseas Chinese and Foreign Affairs" to provide professional assistance for overseas Chinese individuals in overseas investment, trade, and project cooperation. In the future, Dacheng Shanghai will continue to contribute to the high-quality development of the co-construction of the "Belt and Road" with the support of the Municipal Overseas Chinese Federation.

Famous international law expert, senior diplomat, distinguished professor at Wuhan University, and PhD in lawHuang Huikangwas invited to give a keynote speech titled"Opportunities and Challenges of 'Going Out' and 'Bringing In' under the Current International Situation".He pointed out that in the current intertwining of globalization and anti-globalization trends, the co-construction of the "Belt and Road" is an important symbolic achievement of China's diplomacy, demonstrating China's determination and courage for opening up in the new era, and injecting strong momentum into global economic integration and development. The rule of law, as a key element of national core competitiveness, is the cornerstone of creating a first-class business environment and a strong backing to ensure the stable and far-reaching co-construction of the "Belt and Road". It can not only provide legal protection for Chinese enterprises to "go out" and effectively respond to various risks, but also create a stable, transparent, and predictable legal environment for overseas Chinese and foreign investors to invest and start businesses in China. In the face of unprecedented changes in a century, where opportunities and challenges coexist, providing solid legal guarantees for high-quality development and high-level opening up is particularly important. We must further strengthen compliance awareness, encourage enterprises to establish and improve overseas compliance systems, make good use of international legal tools, and effectively prevent and resolve overseas operational risks; strengthen legal exchanges and cooperation with the international community, promote the establishment of a more just and reasonable international economic legal system, and create a more favorable external environment for the "Belt and Road" initiative and other international cooperation projects; adhere to goal-oriented and action-oriented approaches, continuously deepen partnerships with various countries, and promote the co-construction of the "Belt and Road" into a new stage of high-quality development.

In the project release session for cooperation and exchange, the first to speak was the director of Dacheng Shanghai.Wang ShanliangJointly released the "Practical Guide for Enterprises Going Abroad" with the committee members of the management committee and supervisory committee. Dacheng Shanghai is committed to cultivating legal talents with an international perspective and cross-cultural communication skills.
