The first CIIE will be held in the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai from November 5 to 10, 2018 and is hosted by the Ministry of Commerce of the P.R. of China and the Shanghai Municipal People’s Government.
CIIE is the first state-level expo globally which focuses on imports and serves as a powerful expression of its Belt and Road Initiative. The following sectors will be represented in CIIE:
• High-end intelligent equipment;
• Consumer electronics & appliances;
• Apparel, accessories & consumer goods;
• Automobile; food & agricultural products;
• Medical equipment & medical care products,
