Berlin, September 6 (Xinhua) — The promotion event for the 136th China Import and Export Fair (Canton Fair) was held in Berlin on September 5. Nearly 100 representatives from Chinese and German political and business sectors attended the event to explore opportunities for cooperation and development in bilateral trade and economic relations.
Michael Schumann, Chairman of the German Federal Association for Economic Development and Foreign Trade, emphasized at the event that China is an indispensable trade partner for Germany. He noted that the economic and trade relationship between the two countries is built on a solid foundation, with cooperation extending beyond goods and services to mutual advancements in technology and R&D. Last year, bilateral trade between Germany and China reached €253.1 billion, and in the first half of this year, German direct investment in China hit a record high of €7.3 billion. Schumann believes the Canton Fair provides an excellent opportunity to further deepen economic and trade ties between the two nations.
In his speech, Zhang Sihong, Deputy Director of the China Foreign Trade Center, announced that the 136th Canton Fair will open on October 15. The fair will focus on advanced manufacturing fields such as new energy vehicles, smart mobility, intelligent manufacturing, and industrial automation, as well as emerging consumer sectors like home goods, health, and fashion. So far, a total of 127 German enterprises have participated in the Canton Fair Import Exhibition, making it an important platform for promoting Sino-German economic and trade cooperation.
Ma Guoliang, First Secretary of the Economic and Commercial Section at the Chinese Embassy in Germany, pointed out that the Canton Fair provides a platform for numerous Chinese and German enterprises to explore each other’s markets. It not only allows German citizens to benefit from “Made in China” products but also helps bring “Made in Germany” products into Chinese households. He expressed hope that Chinese and German enterprises will continue to leverage the Canton Fair as a “bridge” to deepen cooperation, enhance exchanges, and achieve mutual benefits.
The promotion event was hosted by the China Foreign Trade Center, co-organized by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Germany, and organized by Kaiyuan Tours Group.
The Canton Fair, established in 1957, is held biannually in Guangzhou in spring and autumn. At the 135th Canton Fair held this spring, 246,000 overseas buyers from 215 countries and regions participated offline, setting a historic record.
