As a crucial platform for international trade cooperation, the Canton Fair is an important link in the global industrial and supply chains. Shen Xiang encouraged French companies to make full use of the platform to further cooperation and exchanges with Chinese companies, offering different options for how French and Chinese firms could collaborate, and contributing to the expansion of Sino-French economic and trade cooperation.

The event introduces the Fair's highlights of the exhibitions, events and featured booths which are designated to echo China's "dual circulation" strategy, as well as its innovative presentation to encourage companies to showcase new products both online and offline.

Chu Shijia noted that the Canton Fair has been receiving support from the French and Chinese business communities over the past 65 years. He hoped that the French business communities can find business opportunities and lead on the win-win cooperation between the two countries.

Alan Eygreteau said the international supply chain took a big hit due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and buyers are actively seeking business partners and suppliers. The Canton Fair is the perfect venue for tackling such challenges.

With China being France's largest trading partner in Asia, the Canton Fair has regularly welcomed nearly 3,000 French buyers at each one of its editions. Through the Fair, companies worldwide can gain comprehensive insights into the latest trends of Chinese products and the market potential in China.
