SSACEIF to stage in Kunming from Jun. 12-18

2017 South and Southeast Asia Commodity Expo and Investment Fair (SSACEIF), as well as the Kunming Import and Export Fair, will take place between June 12 and 18, 2017 in Kun-ming. A SSACEIF promotional event was held recently in Shenzhen.

From this year on, the SSACEIF and China-South Asia Expo will be held alternately, with the Chi-na-South Asia Expo on even-num-bered years and SSACEIF on odd-number years. The Kunming Import and Export Fair will be held every year.

SSACEIF and the China-South Asia Expo will complement one another in terms of goals, standards, times and activities.

Dedicated to promoting the Belt and Road Initiative—which should be jointly built through consultation and meet the interests of all—the two events share a common goal. That goal involves the facilitation of policy coor-dination, infrastructure connectivity, un-impeded trade, financial integration and 

people-to-people bonds between China, the countries of South and Southeast Asia and beyond.

The two events also share the same standards and requirements. Both stick to the standard of first-class internation-al exhibitions regarding event prepara-tion and organization with an open and professional attitude.

Both events begin on June 12 at the Kunming Dianchi International Con-vention and Exhibition Centre, with similar scales. This year’s SSACEIF will cover 18 pavilions and 8,000 stan-dard booths with 180,000 square-metre exhibition area, similar to the 4th Chi-na-South Asia Expo.

As during the past Kunming Fair and China-South Asia Expo, a series of events will be held during SSACEIF. These include the China-South Asia Business Forum, the ASEAN Overseas Chinese Entrepreneurs Conference, the Conference on Cooperation of BCIM Chamber of Commerce Alliance, as well as other events where government institutions and chambers of commerce will be invited to introduce national investment policies and environments while promoting mutual investment 

projects between China, South and Southeast Asia.

The two events, nonetheless, are different in terms of exhibition cate-gories, organizers and themes.

The China-South Asia Expo is one of China’s top ten national exhibitions, and is approved by the State Council and developed under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative. SSACEIF is also Yunnan’s key largest-scale inter-national exhibition approved by Yunnan provincial government.

The China-South Asia Expo is co-hosted by the Chinese Ministry of Commerce, the Yunnan provincial gov-ernment, and the ministries and depart-ments of commerce from South Asian countries. SSACEIF, on the other hand, is co-organized by the China Chamber of International Commerce, the SAARC Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the ASEAN-China Center, and the Sec-retariat of the China-South Asia Expo and Kunming Import & Export Fair.

The China-South Asia Expo aims toward “Win-win Cooperation through Amity, Sincerity, Mutual Benefit and Inclusiveness” at the level of strategic cooperation, while SSACEIF has the theme of “Creating New Opportunities for New Development”.

This year marks the first session of SSACEIF. As of 2016, the China-South Asia Expo had been held four years annually. The 4th China-South Asia Expo and the 24th Kunming Import & Export Fair had 18 pavilions and 8,000 booths. Participation covered more than 5,000 exhibitors from 89 countries and regions. The events registered a paid-in and contractual trade volume of 158 bil-lion yuan, up 1.2% over the previous session.
