The Ministry of Trade and Industry of the Philippines and the Chinese ambassador in the Philippines organised the introductory meeting of China's International Import Exhibition on March 15th in Manilla. They hope that this exhibition will support bilateral trade cooperation between China and the Philippines. More than 100 Philippine companies registered to participate in the exhibition. China is already the largest trade partner of the Philippines, and this exhibition will give Philippine companies more opportunities to enter the Chinese market.
Mr. Liu Jun, commercial attache of China's Ministry of Commerce, stated that this exhibition is the world's first national exhibition with import as its theme. The Chinese government encourages Chinese companies to purchase more Philippine products. The Chinese government also hopes that Philippine companies can use this exhibition to showcase their products and technologies to Chinese and global traders and consumers. In addition, China's International Import Exhibition will also host the official ceremony where six companies will sign a mutual agreement.
