CIIE organizers bullish on 2021 event

Officials: Prestigious annual trade expo to boost confidence in global economy

The fourth China International Import Expo will open in Shanghai on Nov 5 and is expected to continue to inject vitality into the global economy, said its organizers 100 days before it gets underway.

Sun Chenghai, deputy director-general of the CIIE Bureau, said the success of organizing the expo last year amid the COVID-19 pandemic boosted confidence in the world economy.

"This year's expo will strive to become a window for China's new development pattern and contribute to promote an open global economy," Sun said.
