(GUANGZHOU, China, Oct. 17, 2016 PRNewswire=연합뉴스) 60 years after its first launch, the 120th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) officially opened on October 15 in Guangzhou.
With 1.18 million square meters of exhibition space, the Fair is divided into three phases with a total of 60,250 booths presented, of which 59,252 were in the National Pavilion, and featuring 23,938 companies located across 16 commodity categories in the 50 exhibition halls. The International Pavilion featured 615 companies from more than 40 countries and regions.
The first phase of the Fair held from October 15-19 included electronics and machinery, hardware and building construction products.
