SHANGHAI, Sept. 16, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

Acting as a major platform for international procurement, investment promotion,

cultural exchanges and open cooperation, the China International Import Expo

(CIIE) has been held for four consecutive years and is widely regarded as an

international public good, which in turn is good for economic globalization and

multilateral trading system.

With a number of companies attending the CIIE for the first time this year,

including global metals and mining giant Rio Tinto Group, and Japanese

multinational semiconductor company Renesas Electronics Corp, the fifth edition

of the CIIE will be held in Shanghai from Nov 5 to10 as scheduled.

In terms of the Business Exhibition, the fifth CIIE will again feature six

exhibition areas — Food and Agricultural Products, Intelligent Industry and

Information Technology, Medical Equipment and Healthcare Products, Consumer

Goods, Trade in Services, and Automobiles.

This year, many organizing agencies from countries such as Norway and Belgium

have joined the CIIE network for the first time. These agencies will play an

important role in inviting local small and medium-sized enterprises to take

part in the expo. Member nations of the Regional Comprehensive Economic

Partnership Agreement (RCEP) are also planning to participate in the expo.

Over the last few years, the organizers of the CIIE have been establishing

subsections within exhibition areas to enhance service standards. The fifth

edition will have more new subsections established. For example, a crop seeds

subsection and an artificial intelligence subsection will be set up to

strengthen communication between businesses and bolster relevant industrial

growth.

Subsections dedicated to serving innovation incubation, debuted in 2021

edition, will be established again in the exhibition areas of automobiles,

intelligent industry and information technology, and medical equipment and

healthcare products. Such subsections will also be present for sports and

fashion design.

This year, country exhibitions will be held online with a brand-new look to

showcase countries' achievements in cultural, economic, and social fonts.

Since 2018, more than 120 countries in total participated in the country

exhibition, showcasing foreign countries' passion for the CIIE.
