The ongoing 9th China International Import Expo (CIIE) is gathering strong momentum in trade and investment, with over 400 cooperation agreements inked at its collective signing sessions.
The CIIE, running from Nov 5 to 10 in Shanghai, has attracted 4,142 overseas exhibitors across more than 440,000 square meters, with over 480 exhibits making their global, Asian or China debut, the highest number in the event's history.
Around 80 supporting events have been held at the expo so far. A trade and investment matchmaking event alone brought together more than 600 exhibitors and over 2,000 buyers from 59 countries and regions.
More than 60 collective signing sessions have been held, attracting over 100 purchasing companies and organizations.
UNDP Administrator Alexander De Croo highlighted the organization's first-time participation in the expo and the strong appeal of the Chinese market.
"There's an incredible level of energy here and, and this is very appealing to us, we as UNDP, the UN Development Programme participating for the first time at CIIE. A number of reasons, but the number one reason is the UN system is a big purchaser of goods and services here in China. It's more than 200 million a year that we buy in a broad range, going from pharmaceuticals to electronics, to heavy equipment," he said.
China's state-owned enterprises have also stepped up procurement deals, particularly in energy and resources. China National Petroleum Corporation has signed procurement agreements worth nearly 19 billion U.S. dollars, covering oil and gas resources, high-end equipment, and green and low-carbon development.
"'Export to China' connects with demand — it not only enriches domestic consumer supply but also brings development opportunities to partners around the world. China's vast market is becoming a great opportunity for the world," said Chen Gang, vice president of COFCO Corporation.
