China International Import Expo to attract more participants

The Second China International Import Expo to be held on Nov 5-10 in Shanghai will see bigger exhibition areas and wider participation, government officials said at the CIIE road show in Tianjin on Monday.

"Although the registration for the exhibitors has been closed, some companies are still trying to achieve an opportunity to join the event," said Liu Fuxue, deputy head of the CIIE Bureau.

The participation of Fortune 500 companies numbered more than last year and the exhibition area has been expanded by 10 percent to 30,000 square meters.
