Summary
China Import and Export Fair (dì 107jiè zhōng guó jìn chū kǒu shāng pǐn jiāo yì huì 第107届中国进出口商品交易会) (also renowned as the Canton Fair) was inaugurated in spring of 1957. It is co-hosted by the Ministry of Commerce of PRC and the People's Government of Guangdong Province, and organized by China Foreign Trade Centre biannually in Guangzhou, China every spring and autumn. The Canton Fair, boasting a long history of 53 years, recorded the ever-growing foreign trade of New China and witnessed friendly economic and cultural exchanges between China and the outside world.

The Canton Fair has always been customer-oriented and shouldered the responsibility of promoting China’s foreign trade. It has become "China’s No.1 Fair" and a well-known exhibition in the world. The Canton Fair is a comprehensive tradeshow of international trade, with the longest history, the highest level, the largest scale, the most complete exhibit variety, the biggest buyer attendance, the broadest distribution of buyers’ origin and the greatest business turnover in China. It has become an important platform and bridge for boosting the international trade.

The 107th session of the Canton Fair closed on May 5th, 2010. Although experienced the severe international financial crisis, this session maintained stable which is proved by recovery growth in buyer attendance and transaction volume. 203,996 overseas buyers from 212 countries and regions attended this session and achieved a transaction volume of US 34.3 billion Dollars. Therefore, the Canton Fair has made great contributions to solidifying the recovery momentum of Chinese foreign trade enterprises and realizing the goal of "expanding the market, adjusting the structure and promoting the balance of foreign trade".

At present, the Canton Fair embraces new development opportunities. China Foreign Trade Centre, the organizer of the Canton Fair, will implement the guiding principles of "specialization, marketization, legalization, industrialization, and internationalization" by strengthening its efforts to invite buyers, promote the International Pavilion of the Canton Fair, adjust the organization structure, and improve the Canton Fair’s service. To promote the economic and trade development and cooperation between China and the outside world, we will foster better environment and create more business opportunities to develop the Canton Fair to be a world class exhibition.

Let's inherit the glorious history and create a better future together! Your visit will make the Canton Fair a better exhibition!
