The China Import and Export Fair, also known as the "Canton Fair", is an important channel for China's foreign trade industry and an initiative confirming China's open-minded policy. It plays a key role in promoting the development of China's foreign trade and economic and trade exchanges between China and the rest of the world. It is considered the most important fair in the country.
The Canton Fair is co-hosted by the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China and the People's Government of Guangdong Province and organized by the China Foreign Trade Centre.
