The annual event, the largest trade promotion and international economic
cooperation in China’s southwestern region, attracted nearly 140
business delegations from countries and regions around the world with
1,000 display booths.
As many as 100 Vietnamese
businesses attended the event with 250 booths showcasing high-quality
furniture, fine arts, food and agro products.
Addressing the
opening ceremony, China’s Deputy Minister of Commerce Chen Jian said the
Kunming Fair together with the South Asian Countries Trade Fair have
become a linkage and an important forum in deepening regional
cooperation between China and Southeast and South Asian countries.
The Kunming Fair, first held in 1993, is aimed to enhance trade
cooperation between China and countries bordered China to the
southwest.
Total trade transaction value at the 2011 fair reached 2.4 billion USD, an increase of 20 percent over the previous one.-VNA
