This year, at the China International Import Expo 2023(CIIE), a special "matchmaking zone" has appeared.

It is the "B2B meeting zone for small and medium enterprises" set up for the first time at the Exhibition Area of Food and Agricultural Products this year. 

It covers approximately 500 square meters and invites professional purchasers related to e-commerce, supermarkets, and catering to directly engage in trade matching with those small and medium-sized exhibitors.

Each country has different resources and comparative advantages. Only by actively participating in global resource allocation can we leverage each other's strengths, promote complementary development and achieve mutual benefit. This statement is no longer an abstract theory at the CIIE, but a reality for exhibitors from various countries.

In this increasingly interconnected world, many people rely on online communication. However, after visiting the Expo, they might understand that face-to-face communication is still essential because it brings not only convenience but also a sincere intention to foster inclusiveness, mutual understanding, and cooperation. Traveling great distances to meet one another is itself a warm gesture.
