On March 1, the Chinese Ministry of Commerce and the Yunnan Provincial Government jointly held a promotional conference for the fourth China-South Asia Expo and the twenty-fourth China Kunming Import and Export Commodities Fair (Kunming Fair), which will be held together in Kunming from June 12 to 17.

This year’s China-South Asia Expo and Kunming Fair will follow the concept of innovative, coordinated, green, open and shared development. Themed on “amity, sincerity, mutual benefit, inclusiveness and win-win cooperation,” they will embrace “the promotion of all-round China-South Asia cooperation and development.” The exhibitions will cover a total area of 170,000 square metres, a 38 percent increase over last year. There will be 8,000 booths, a 30 percent increase over 2015, and more than half of the booths will be provided for foreign exhibitors.

In addition to exhibitions, trade negotiations and the signing of agreements, a series of other activities will also be held during this year’s China-South Asia Expo. Thease include the eleventh China-South Asia Business Forum, the fourth China-South Asia Think Tank Forum, the eighth GMS Economic Corridor Week and the China-South Asia-Southeast Asia TV Art Week.

Under China’s Belt and Road Initiative, Yunnan makes up a major part of the BCIM economic corridor and the China-Southeast Asia economic corridor. So far, Yunnan has become one of China’s most attractive provinces. More and more foreign people are coming to Yunnan to seek business opportunities and make investments.

More than 80 diplomats from 39 countries in South Asia, Southeast Asia, Europe, Africa and America attended the promotional conference. They said that through its first three sessions, the China-South Asia Expo has increased China’s influence in neighbouring countries and has promoted economic and cultural exchanges among all participating countries. They promised that their countries would participate in the event in various forms, and wished the China-South Asia Expo a better future.
