Second CIIE to be even bigger and better

Enterprises from across the world have shown great interest in participating in the second China International Import Expo, which is set to be larger in scale and better in quality than its inaugural version last year, said the event's organizers.

More than half of the exhibition area has been booked and the number of enterprises confirming their participation has exceeded half of the planned number, said the organizers.

Statistics from the CIIE Bureau show that 812 companies from 72 countries and regions had signed agreements to attend this year's expo as of Mar 15. Altogether they have booked 180,000 square meters of exhibition area, accounting for more than half of the planned business exhibition section, which will be expanded from 270,000 square meters last year to 300,000 sq m this year.
