The forum took place at a time when both China and Ireland are celebrating the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the diplomatic ties between the two countries, which falls on June 22.

It is learned from the forum that the economic and trade cooperation between China and Ireland has witnessed a rapid development over the last forty years, especially over the last seven years since both sides formed a mutually beneficial strategic partnership in 2017.

Chinese Ambassador to Ireland He Xiangdong told the forum in his speech that the bilateral goods trade value between China and Ireland amounted to over 14.5 billion U.S. dollars in 2018 compared with a meagre 5.15 million U.S. dollars in 1979 when the two countries established the diplomatic ties.
