歐盟駐華代表團團長、大使庹堯誨：成渝地區(qū)有著更廣泛的消費和投資空間

重慶是一座現(xiàn)代化大型城市，都市化、城鎮(zhèn)化建設(shè)水平都非常高。特別是在基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)上的成就讓人印象深刻。我們看到歐盟在重慶的一些產(chǎn)業(yè)投入已經(jīng)達到非常大的規(guī)模，其數(shù)字讓人驚喜。未來，我們將會搭建更多的交流合作平臺，尤其是在對華出口與投資等方面，進一步加強與中國關(guān)系的促進。

重慶的優(yōu)勢在于現(xiàn)代化、產(chǎn)業(yè)化、科技化的程度非常高，特別是在成渝地區(qū)雙城經(jīng)濟圈建設(shè)基礎(chǔ)上，面向龐大的人口消費市場，在高度發(fā)達的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)背景下，我們有更廣泛的消費和投資空間。

瑞典駐華大使宋蓮：重慶一定是瑞典游客優(yōu)先選擇的目的地

此次來渝，我們發(fā)現(xiàn)瑞典與重慶在高新科技等方面存在很多共同點，也有可以互學(xué)互鑒的地方，同時我們也了解到，重慶是基于產(chǎn)業(yè)和制造業(yè)的城市，瑞典在高新科技創(chuàng)新方面有優(yōu)勢，雙方可以在這方面展開更多的合作。瑞典能夠提供更多創(chuàng)新性的解決方案，特別是在綠色轉(zhuǎn)型和垃圾處理等領(lǐng)域。重慶是一個巨大的城市，也是一個巨大的市場，人口多，規(guī)模超過了很多歐盟國家，城市發(fā)展迅速。就旅游而言，重慶一定是瑞典游客優(yōu)先選擇的目的地，因為瑞典人非常喜歡戶外運動和大自然。

意大利駐華大使安博思：重慶是城市建設(shè)當(dāng)中的標(biāo)桿

25年前我曾來過重慶，我很震驚看到重慶發(fā)生如此大的變化，看到非常漂亮壯觀的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)，我認為這是城市建設(shè)當(dāng)中的標(biāo)桿。重慶有非常大的發(fā)展?jié)摿?，近年來意大利駐渝總領(lǐng)事館做了很多工作，推動意大利與重慶之間的投資關(guān)系取得很大進步，同時增進雙方文化之間的交流，整個西南片區(qū)與意大利之間的交流與合作都得到了很大的提升。

法國駐華大使白玉堂：希望能增加雙方在教育方面的交流

我來過兩次重慶，上一次還是2006年。重慶這座城市改變了很多，讓人感到特別舒服。我被這里獨特的魅力所吸引，總是想來這座城市看看，我希望通過此次和歐盟的駐華代表團訪問重慶，能促進雙方人文之間的交流。重慶與法國之間的交往有著悠久的歷史，希望在重慶的法國企業(yè)，尤其是中小企業(yè)能越來越多，促進更多相關(guān)商業(yè)方面的合作。也希望能增加雙方在教育方面的交流，開展更多兩地學(xué)生互換的活動，歡迎更多的重慶學(xué)生到法國進行交流學(xué)習(xí)。
