GUANGZHOU, China, July 22, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

The 130th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) will be held in a merged

format, both online and offline, between October 15 and November 3, 2021. This

edition of the Canton Fair will feature displays in 51 exhibition sections

based on 16 product categories along with a designated "rural vitalization

zone" showcasing products from multiple rural areas of China and will be open

to visitors both virtually and in-person.

The onsite exhibition will continue to be held in its familiar three-phase

format, with each phase lasting 4 days. Total exhibition space is 1.185 million

square meters and around 60,000 standard booths are expected to fill this

enormous area. Chinese representatives of overseas organizations and companies,

as well as domestic buyers, are all invited to attend the Fair. The Fair's

online exhibition website has developed innovative functionality which

seamlessly combines the onsite event space allowing increased numbers of

visitors to attend the offline version of the Fair.

Canton Fair is a comprehensive international trading event with the longest

history, biggest scale, most complete variety of exhibits, and the largest

business turnover in China. With this year being the centenary of the Communist

Party of China, the 130th Canton Fair is of great significance. The Ministry of

Commerce will work closely with the Guangdong Provincial Government to enhance

and expedite the various plans that are in place including exhibition

organization, celebration activities as well as further solidifying Canton

Fair's role as a platform for all-round development while consolidating the

impressive gains made in COVID-19 prevention and control.

From a social and economic development perspective, the Fair will serve to

bolster the new national development pattern which sees domestic economic

circulation as the mainstay while both domestic and international economic

circulations simultaneously reinforce each other.

Chinese and international companies are welcome to visit the grand event that

is the 130th Canton Fair and together everyone can help to create a better

future.
