This is the oldest grand trade event in the history of New China—one each for spring and fall each year from the year 1957. To this day, it has experienced over 60 years of splendid development.

This is the global marketplace attracting the world’s attention—over 1.18 million square meters in exhibition area, over 60,000 booths, over 25,000 exhibitors, and purchasers from over 210 countries and regions…

In April, Guangzhou welcomes the 123^rd China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair), and once again China is in the spotlight of world trade. From Boao Forum for Asia to Canton Fair, an Oriental voice has remained loud and clear: China’s gates will not be closed; they will only be opened wider!
