It is a platform for entrepreneurs to participate in social and political life, safeguard and protect their legitimate rights and interests, serve as an important bridge connecting the government and enterprises as well as enterprises with each other, showcase corporate cultural values, and give back to society. It is also an important assistant for the government in serving private enterprises and plays a significant role in the wave of market economic development. Ya'an entrepreneurs developing in Chengdu are widely distributed and influential. The establishment of the Chengdu Ya'an Chamber of Commerce will provide a good platform for Ya'an businessmen to communicate, unite for development, and achieve win-win progress. At the same time, this is also the earnest hope of Ya'an businessmen developing in Chengdu.

This will be more conducive to gathering the psychological capital and conscious support of Ya'an people."
