Shanghai is all set to welcome the world once again as the 7th China International Import Expo (CIIE) kicks off from November 5 to 10, 2024. This premier global event serves as a buzzing hub for companies, industries, and nations to collaborate, showcasing China's unwavering commitment to trade liberalization and an open economy.
In an era marked by rising de-globalization and trade protectionism, the CIIE stands as a beacon for free trade, pushing back against tariff hikes and trade barriers that threaten global economic harmony. China is doubling down on its efforts to maintain high standards in its opening-up policies, recognizing that its growth is deeply intertwined with the world's prosperity.
Since its inception in 2018 under the leadership of President Xi Jinping, the CIIE has grown exponentially, hosting six successful expos that attracted exhibitors from around the globe. The upcoming 7th edition promises to outshine its predecessors even amidst regional conflicts and geopolitical tensions.
With participation expected from 152 countries and regions, including guest countries of honor like France, Malaysia, and Saudi Arabia, the event is set to be a melting pot of innovation and collaboration. Additionally, 39 government trade missions and 780 trade sub-missions will converge in Shanghai, making it the largest gathering yet.
Past CIIEs have been a gateway for over 350,000 products and nearly $420 billion in intended transactions. This year, with a record 297 Fortune 500 companies expected to participate, the expo is set to further cement its role as a key platform for international trade and investment.
The 7th CIIE will put a spotlight on new quality productive forces, featuring cutting-edge products and technologies. From a dedicated section for new materials to the latest in autonomous driving and new energy vehicles, the expo is a showcase of the future of global industries.
As the world navigates an uncertain economic recovery post-pandemic, the CIIE reaffirms China's role in fostering global economic collaboration and sustainable development. Attendees can look forward to a week of innovation, partnership, and growth, underscoring the expo's mission to be a new window for opening up and international trade.
