During the signing ceremony, Shapingba District Mayor Xiao Qinghua expressed that to align with the expansion of the "outward" space of the New Western Land-Sea Corridor and accelerate the development of legal services along the route, special attention will be given to optimizing the business legal environment in the 500-kilometer radiation area of Chongqing Railway Port. The entire district will continue to create an excellent business environment and provide full support for the development of the Southwest Service Centers of both courts.

 

During the event, Chairman Ma Zhanjun of APIAC stated that the establishment of the Southwest Service Center of APIAC will accelerate the development of international commercial arbitration in the southwestern region, helping more businesses and individuals resolve international disputes. APIAC is committed to promoting the development of international arbitration services in the southwestern region and facilitating the training of legal professionals in international arbitration.

Huang Pu, the General Manager of the Chong Qing International Logistics Hub Park, stated that the park will provide comprehensive support services for the development of both institutions and offer a conducive business environment.

This strategic collaboration will promote the development of international commercial arbitration in Shapingba District, aiding businesses and individuals in resolving international disputes more efficiently. It will also contribute to the establishment of a legal environment in the southwestern region and create additional opportunities and prospects for the region's business development. This partnership will witness the prosperity of arbitration services in the southwestern region, offering more legal protection to the parties involved and collectively ushering in a new era of international arbitration.
