The Fifth CIIE brings global products from coastal states of the South Pacific to China

SHANGHAI, July 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — A major platform for international procurement, investment promotion, cultural exchanges and open cooperation, the China International Import Expo (CIIE) has been held successfully for four consecutive years and is widely regarded as an international public good and the multilateral trading system, as well as a pivotal carrier for building an open world economy and a community with a shared future for mankind.

Since its inception in 2018, the CIIE has been growing in scale and influence. The area of its business exhibition increased from 270,000 square meters in 2018 to 366,000 square meters in 2021. Exhibitors at the past four CIIEs launched more than 1,500 new products, technologies and services and clinched tentative deals worth over $270 billion.

The fourth CIIE attracted many manufacturers from coastal states in the South Pacific. For example, more than 50 companies from New Zealand signed up for the expo last year.

“It’s a good platform for launching brands, increasing the promotion of established brands, and networking,” said Rachel Maidment, chief executive of New Zealand China Council.

Over the past four editions, the CIIE has remained a magnet for companies from countries around the world. Last year, 90 enterprises from 33 LDCs attended the exhibition, and nearly 30 of them were provided with free booths.

Timor-Leste has participated in the CIIE four times and their kopi luwak coffee, also known as civet cat coffee, turned out to be one of the most popular products at the fourth CIIE.

The purchasing power of the Chinese market has also opened new avenues of income for companies in coastal states in the South Pacific.

This year, many countries have confirmed their participation in the country exhibition at the fifth CIIE, from Nov 5-10. To date, more than 80 percent of the planned business exhibition area has been reserved and more than 260 Fortune Global 500 companies and industry leaders will attend the expo.

With so many showing their interest, space will be filling up fast. Be sure to sign up for the fifth edition before time runs out! Click here to register: https://www.ciie.org/exhibition/f/book/register?locale=en.

Support Independent Community Journalism

Dear Reader,

The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.

We operate independently.

Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.

When you support The Indian Sun, you support:

• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
• Journalism accountable to readers

We cannot cover everything, but we work to cover what matters.

If you value thoughtful reporting that reflects Australia’s diversity, we invite you to contribute. Every donation helps us maintain the quality and consistency of our work.

Please consider making a contribution today.

Thank you for your support.

The Indian Sun Team
