Xiong stressed that the legal service institutions should actively make use of the exhibition and strengthen communication and exchanges with other exhibitors, fully present a positive image and the professional capacity of China's law firms, arbitration and notarial institutions, so as to further improve the international influences and competitiveness of the country's foreign-related legal services.

It is of great importance to better serve the country's strategic layout of foreign-related work on the rule of law as well as all-round opening-up.

A total of 43 institutions participated in this year's themed exhibition, including 33 law firms with outstanding performance in foreign-related legal service, seven arbitration institutions that are domestically leading in terms of foreign-related arbitration cases and the amount of the subject matter, and three foreign-related notary public offices with strong brand influences.
