Exhibition booth construction for the 9th China International Import Expo (CIIE) began on Tuesday in Shanghai, ahead of the event scheduled to run from November 5 to 10.

The construction work is proceeding in an orderly manner at the National Exhibition and Convention Center, the main venue for the event, and some booths have already taken shape.

The Shanghai police have launched support operations to ensure a smooth and orderly preparation process. To prevent congestion caused by the concentrated arrival of heavy trucks, the police have optimized the freight vehicle entry process this year.

"We use remote security checks and waiting areas before freight vehicles enter the north square. This can avoid vehicle pile-ups in the north square and prevent traffic congestion on the roads surrounding the National Exhibition and Convention Center," said Li Lei, a police officer.

To further facilitate the expo, the police have reduced the closed management time and extended the setup period, allowing exhibitors to enter the venue earlier to build their booths.

The police have also increased patrol frequency to ensure safety and order throughout the preparation phase.
