Liu Jiang stated that with the full implementation of RCEP, the electric bicycle and motorbike industry has a new opportunity for industrial development and has achieved significant success in actively exploring international markets in recent years. We aim to use this seminar as an opportunity to create a favourable communication platform, which will help to identify and address technical barriers to trade issues faced by the electric bicycle and motorbike industry when exploring the international markets like ASEAN. We also intend to consolidate the resources of the Alliance and provide assistance to the industry to establish their footprint in the ASEAN market and foster the healthy development of the sector..

According to Meng Yong, Guangxi Institute of Quality Supervision is dedicated to serving the real economy. It has collaborated with the Guigang City, Hong Kong and North District Government to build the Guangxi new energy electric vehicle product quality inspection centre. As the Secretary General Unit of the Alliance, the institute efficiently combines the technical resources of the Alliance in standards, inspection, testing, and certification. This initiative helps enterprises to enhance their management and improve the overall quality and safety standards of electric vehicles. It also fosters cooperation between the Alliance and ASEAN countries in standards consultation, mutual recognition of inspection and certification results, and facilitates direct acceptance and recognition of domestic inspection and certification results by ASEAN countries.

The seminar's success marks a significant achievement for China's electric motorcycle and electric bicycle industry enterprises in reaching out to the ASEAN. It offers an opportunity for these enterprises to gain a comprehensive understanding of technical standards and trade barriers, and offers thema platform to address the bottlenecks and challenges in industry development.
