The Canton Fair was founded by the Chinese government in 1957. Over the past 50 years, the Canton Fair has adapted to the changing times, continuously innovated the concept and methods of organizing exhibitions, continuously optimized the participating enterprises and exhibited products, and always maintained a strong vitality and vigorous development momentum, becoming China's oldest, largest and most reputable internationally renowned exhibition, and a microcosm of China's foreign trade development. The history of the Canton Fair is a vivid history of New China's opening up to the outside world.
Looking to the future, with the rapid development of China's economy and the continuous advancement of reform and opening up, the Canton Fair faces a broader development prospect. We believe that the Canton Fair will be more distinctive, more advanced and more effective, and will make greater contributions to promoting the development of my country's foreign trade.
The opening ceremony of the 110th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) and the forum on the 10th anniversary of China's accession to the World Trade Organization were grandly held in Guangzhou.
