Established in 1957, the Canton Fair is the long-est-running of several comprehensive international trade events in China and is con-sidered a barometer of China's foreign trade performance.
Qian Hongjie recently met with Vanhpheng Saisomphou, the outgoing consul-general at the consulate of the Lao People's Democratic Republic in Guangzhou.
Zhang Guozhi, deputy governor of Guangdong province, met with Sergei Abramov, the first deputy chairman of the Khabarovsk territory government, Russia.
Zhang highlighted the positive momentum in economic, trade, cultural tourism, and sister city exchanges between Guangdong and Iran, both of which are key nodes in the BRI.
It's another year of the Canton Fair, and participants are coming from all over the world. This year's Canton Fair, with rich elements of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), showcases China's firm determination to open up to the outside world and its strong confidence in promoting high-quality development.
