The exchange and cooperation between the two countries in the eld of arbitration will help provide investors with an e cient and convenient dispute resolution path, thus removing obstacles to closer economic and trade contacts.

Through research, it is found that the arbitration mechanism between the two countries is insu cient, and the ADR mechanism including arbitration is underutilized.
