A Chinese company, Ningxia based SRP Group dedicated to promoting cross border trade between China and Arab nations has signed a contract to rent 10,000 square meters of land in Dubai's Jebel Ali free trade zone.

Li Zheng, director of Ningxia-based SRP Group said that the land will be used to build service centers for exhibition, consultation, after-sales service and promotion of China-produced high-quality products.

The service center, part of the company's Silk Road E-Path chain, will showcase China-produced textiles and automobiles.

Li said that by exhibiting quality Chinese products, they want to change Middle Eastern consumers' assumption that made-in-China equals cheap, small commodities.

SRP also plans runs a B2B (business to business) platform to help trade by Chinese companies by assisting them in customs clearance, payment, translation, accreditation, logistics and product exhibition.

The company is also considering building more centers in Jordan and Oman trade areas to facilitate e-commerce between China and Arab countries.

According to Xie Menglin, director of the Small and Medium Companies Association in Ningxia, there is huge potential for Chinese companies to boost exports to Arab nations and the association will help Chinese companies to expand their business.

The Association will also provide help to Chinese companies to expand their business in Oman too.
