The bustling city of Urumqi in the Chinese mainland's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is abuzz as the eighth China-Eurasia Expo kicks off this Wednesday morning. This year's theme, \"New Opportunities of Silk Road, New Vitality for Eurasian Cooperation,\" sets the stage for a vibrant display of international collaboration and innovation.
Inviting guest nations Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan, alongside guest provinces and cities Beijing, Shandong, and Sichuan, the expo boasts a diverse array of 23 countries, three regions, and one international organization, each presenting their unique national and image pavilions. Over 1,900 participants from 50 countries, regions, and international organizations have flocked to the event, eager to explore more than 6,000 varieties of products on display.
Spanning an impressive 140,000 square meters, the five-day expo features four major exhibition zones: investment cooperation, international exhibitions, special industries, and equipment manufacturing. These zones are designed to foster meaningful exchanges and partnerships across multiple sectors, including farm produce, textiles and apparel, energy, and chemicals.
One of the expo's highlights is its role in facilitating investment between the Chinese mainland and countries in Central Asia, Russia, and members of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP). Whether you're a business enthusiast eyeing emerging markets or a tech innovator seeking the latest trends, the expo offers a fertile ground for networking and growth.
