Amazon Global Selling signed a cooperation memorandum with the Department of Commerce of East China's Zhejiang province on July 1 to jointly support the development of local foreign trade enterprises.

The move comes as part of the "Amazon Global Selling Supporting Scheme for New Foreign Trade," and the two sides will cooperate with traditional foreign trade companies from 10 cities of Zhejiang.

The two sides will join hands to help enterprises develop export, cross-border, and e-commerce businesses through Amazon's overseas sites, and solve problems they might encounter. These enterprises cover a wide range of fields, including clothing, textiles, shoes and boots, outdoor products, toys, luggage, hardware, small household appliances, and auto accessories, according to the memorandum.

Sheng Qiuping, director of Zhejiang's Department of Commerce, said the cooperation will promote the high-quality development of the foreign trade industry amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
