Looking forward to closer cooperation with the Australian business community

"During my visit to Australia with the delegation of entrepreneurs from the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, I felt the friendliness and enthusiasm of Australian entrepreneurs, deepened my understanding of the Australian market and business environment, and through direct communication with local business leaders, jointly explored how to utilize the advantages of both sides to build a supply chain network, so that we can better serve the people and enterprises of both countries." Zhou Hongshu, Vice President of YTO Express, was deeply impressed by the visit of the Chinese economic and trade delegation organized by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade to Australia.

In Zhou Hongshu's view, the business community plays a crucial role in China Australia economic and trade cooperation. Enterprises are not only the main driving force for bilateral trade and investment, but also the bridge for technology and innovation dissemination. The active participation of the business community can help shape a more open and mutually beneficial business environment, while also promoting direct economic ties and cultural exchanges between the two countries.

In recent years, Yuantong has been aiming to "connect China with the world and the world with the world", building an international and domestic integrated one-stop service and network operation system, building a global integrated logistics network with a global vision and pattern, always "going out" along the "the Belt and Road", "going out" with cross-border e-commerce, "going out" with Chinese people and enterprises, and exploring the path of coordinated development of domestic and international integration. As an important region for cross-border e-commerce, Australia is one of the most successful "model rooms" for YTO Express to go global.

It is reported that YTO has been in the Australian market for 8 years. At present, YTO International has established direct transfer centers in Sydney and Melbourne, and has opened self operated delivery services in core cities in Australia; Cross border parcels between China and Australia are transported by direct flights, and are handled by YTO in a one-stop manner, including customs declaration, transportation, sorting, and delivery. Delivery can be completed in as little as 3 days, and the delivery time throughout the journey is at the forefront of the market. Last year, the newly opened Yuantong China Australia E-commerce Special Line saw a rapid growth in cross-border e-commerce packages, ranking among the top in terms of timeliness and service quality in the market. In addition, YTO International has partnered with well-known chain pharmacies, supermarkets, and express delivery stores in Australia to open over 50 express delivery stations around major Chinese gathering areas in the Australian market, in order to solve the last mile problem of local express delivery.

"Facing the future, we are optimistic about the prospects of cooperation between China and Australia in areas such as trade, investment, and technological innovation. We firmly believe that the two countries can enhance cooperation and mutual trust, further strengthen economic and cultural exchanges, and personnel exchanges." Zhou Hongshu said that Australia, with its rich natural resources and developed economic scale, perfectly integrates with China's manufacturing industry and huge market. China and Australia have highly complementary economies and enormous potential for economic and trade cooperation. YTO also looks forward to further developing in Australia, sharing its experience and innovative capabilities in digital logistics and intelligent supply chain management, and helping bilateral trade and economic cooperation reach new heights.

"We will further improve Yuantong's international logistics network, expand more international cooperation channels, integrate more resources, and contribute to the long-term development of the two countries' economies." Zhou Hongshu said that this year marks the 10th anniversary of the establishment of a comprehensive strategic partnership between China and Australia. Yuantong will use this important moment to strengthen close cooperation with the Australian business community, jointly explore more opportunities to promote bilateral trade and investment, and seek new development opportunities.
