Dear friends!

Chun Jie Kuai Le! (Happy Chinese New Year)!

We are pleased to extend our warmest greetings to you all as we welcome the arrival of the Year of the Tiger.

The tiger symbolizes strength, vigor, courage, perseverance, and boldness. These are the qualities that we need today to face unprecedented challenges.

In the past year of the Ox, China's economy grew by 8.1% year-on-year, higher than the global average and the growth rates of major economies, making an important contribution to the global economy and trade recovery in the face of the epidemic. Italy's economy also recovered rapidly and was selected as The Economist's Country of the Year. Most importantly, together we witnessed several moments of glory such as Italy winning the European Cup and capturing the Olympic men's 100m and 4x100m relay titles!

Despite the difficulties in the past year, the total import and export volume between China and Italy reached a record high of $73.954 billion, up 34% year-on-year, and the Tianjin Italian SME Industrial Park welcomed five Italian investment projects, which fully demonstrates the resilience and dynamism of Sino-Italian cooperation. The Tianjin Airport Sino-European Center, a high-quality dedicated office building for Italian and European companies, has been completed. We look forward to continuing to use the Tianjin Italian SME Industrial Park as a platform to work with our partners to write a new chapter of cooperation between Tianjin and Italy!

At the beginning of the Year of the Tiger, we wish you a prosperous family, good health and happiness!

Andrà tutto bene！

The Tianjin Italian SME Industrial Park Team
