珠海航展向世界唱响开放合作的强音。本届航展充满了“国际范”，据统计，来自47个国家和地区的1022家企业参与本届航展。俄罗斯、法国、美国、沙特、意大利以展团的形式参展。境外展商数量由上届航展的78家增至本届的约159家，增长了104%。阿拉伯新闻网11月10日报道称，沙特阿拉伯军工事业总局在珠海航展现场设立展馆，旨在加强伙伴关系并进一步发展沙特国内的国防能力。沙特在其展馆中重点介绍沙特的国防投资潜力以及沙特国内良好的投资环境。
The Airshow China is a miniature reflecting China's manufacturing which is on the way to high-end development. The increasingly eye-catching performances and exhibits at the airshow cannot be realized without the continuous efforts of Chinese manufacturing to pursue quality growth. The exhibits covered the entire dimensions of land, sea, air, space, electromagnetics and cyberspace, showing China's innovation achievements in aviation, aerospace and national defense. China's high-end manufacturing has made remarkable commercial achievements at this year's airshow. On November 12, the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China (COMAC) and Air China signed the first user framework agreement for the C929 wide-body large aircraft, broadening the way for China's large aircraft industry. On the same day, COMAC signed an order for 130 C919s in Zhuhai. The China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASC) also signed more than 70 cooperation agreements on the same day, with a total value of 60 billion yuan, covering strategic emerging industries and advantageous fields such as satellite launch, commercial spaceflight, low-altitude economy and hydrogen energy. The intensive appearance of high-end, intelligent, green and integrated products at the airshow highlighted the continuous innovation made in China. China has established a leading position in the research in many critical emerging technology fields, laying a solid foundation for its growth to the world's leading technology superpower, The Guardian commented recently.
珠海航展是中国制造迈向高端的缩影。珠海航展愈加引人注目的表演和展品离不开中国制造不断迈向高端的努力。本届航展展品全维度涵盖“陆、海、空、天、电、网”，全方位展示我国航空航天及国防领域的创新成果。在本届航展中，中国高端制造取得了令人瞩目的商业成就，11月12日，中国商飞同中国国航签署了C929大飞机的首架用户框架协议，为中国大飞机事业铺下更宽广的道路；同日，中国商飞在珠海签下130架C919大飞机订单。中国航天科技集团也于同日签下了70余项合作协议，累计签约额达600亿元，业务范围涵盖卫星发射、商业航天、低空经济和氢能源等战略性新兴产业领域和优势领域。高端化、智能化、绿色化、融合化的产品在珠海航展中密集地亮相正是中国制造不断创新的缩影。英国《卫报》日前评论称，中国在诸多关键和新兴技术领域的研究中建立了领先地位，这为其成为世界领先的科技超级大国奠定了基础。
The biennial Airshow China, like the growth rings, records the steady progress of China's aviation industry. It is believed that in the future, the airshow will bring us more surprises, and China's manufacturing will embrace a brighter future and contribute more positive factors to world peace and development.
两年一届的珠海航展如同年轮，铭记着中国航空工业稳步前行的步伐。相信在未来，珠海航展将会带给我们更多惊喜，中国制造也将翱翔在更宽广的蓝天，为世界和平与发展贡献更多积极因素。
