Chinese
Export Commodities Fair, also called Canton Fair, inaugurated in the
Spring of 1957, is held twice a year in Spring and Autumn. It is China's
largest trade fair, a fair of the highest level, and of the largest
business turnover. Preserving its traditions, the Fair is a comprehensive
and multi-functional event of international importance. Forty-six
Trading Delegations, being composed of thousands of China's best foreign
trade corporations (enterprises) with good credibility and sound financial
capabilities, take part in the Fair. The Fair leans to export trade,
though import business is also done here. Apart from the above-mentioned,
various types of business activities such as economic and technical
cooperations and exchanges, commodity inspection, insurance, transportation,
advertising, consultation, etc. are also carried out in flexible ways.
Business people from all over the world are gathering in Guangzhou,
exchanging business information and developing friendship. |
