I'm pleased to inform you that the 100th session of Canton Fair will be held in Guangzhou from Oct.15 to Oct.30, 2006.
Chinese Export Commodities Fair (CECF), or "Canton Fair" for short, was inaugurated in spring, 1957. Held biannually in Guangzhou every autumn and spring since then, the CECF is co-hosted by the Ministry of Commerce of P. R. China and People's Government of Guangdong Province. The Fair, a comprehensive trade fair of international importance, has won its renown of "China's No.1 Fair" for its longest history, the highest level, the largest scale, and the most complete in exhibit variety, the broadest distribution of overseas buyers and the greatest business turnover in China.
After the development for 50 years, the CECF now becomes a reliable brand of trade promotion to business people either inChina or in other places of the world. Each session, the CECF attracts over 10,000 outstanding Chinese enterprises and a huge number of buyers from over 200 countries and regions. At the Spring Fair of 2006, nearly 300,000 exhibitors and buyers attended the CECF and the trade volume reached 32 billion US dollars. The CECF 's supply and buy system is effective and comprises great business opportunities.
