In a warmly received speech, he expressed the hope that Indonesian entrepreneurs would take advantage of the Fair to continue to develop trade relations between Indonesia and China and promote the balanced development of bilateral trade between the two countries.
Before the meeting, Xu Bin gave an interview to the press and noted that the 115th Canton Fair would focus on green development, e-commerce and a better quality of exhibitors. He noted that the 114th Fair attracted 189,646 buyers from 212 countries and regions with over 5600 Indonesian businessmen attending.
Liu Jianjun, spokesman for the 114th Fair, stated that the Fair would continue to "keep up the momentum and make progress, forge ahead and spur innovation, improve exhibition organization and quality as well as provide a sound negotiating environment for exhibitors and buyers."
In 2014, the Fair will be held between April 15th and May 5th. As a platform for economic and trade activities between China and the world, the upcoming 115th Canton Fair will be the cynosure for all eyes.
The Canton Fair organizers look forward to welcoming all participants to the 2014 event, the best window onto China's increasingly lucrative marketplace.
