In May 2017, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced at the Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation that China will hold the China International Import Expo (CIIE) starting from 2018.

It is a significant move for the Chinese Government to hold CIIE with a view of firmly supporting trade liberalization and economic globalization and actively opening the market to the world. It facilitates countries and regions all over the world to strengthen economic and trade cooperation, and to promote global trade and world economic growth in order to advance the development of an open world economy.

The Chinese Government sincerely welcomes government officials, friends from the business community, exhibitors and professional purchasers across the world to participate in CIIE and to explore the Chinese market. We would like to work with all countries, regions and international organizations to strive for making CIIE a world-class Expo, providing new channels for countries and regions to do business, strengthening cooperation and promoting common prosperity of the world economy and trade.
