Enhance cooperation with government departments and industrial and commercial organizations in B&R countries. At present, the Canton Fair has signed partnership agreement with 45 industrial and commercial organizations in 32 B&R countries, providing consulting, exhibition attendance and participation, and trade promotion services. We will organize 14 “Belt & Road” national delegations to visit and source at the fair.

Increase invitation to B&R buyers. We’ve worked with Chinese embassies and consulates overseas, trade promotion government organs of overseas countries, industrial and commercial organizations to publish the latest situation of the fair. We’ve focused on marketing, promotion and invitation to the B&R countries. 48% of direct mails sent and more than half of the Internet Promotion Campaign are targeting Russia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, the UAE and other B&R countries. In the meanwhile, we’ve launched more targeted invitation to buyers of B&R countries. According the market characteristics, we’ve made better use of social media, search engine, and overseas media to publish relevant advertorials and advertisement, to increase the conversion rate of buyer attendance.
