With the theme "New Visions for the Future", the 4th China-CEEC Expo will take place from May 22 to 25 in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, according to a press conference held in Beijing on May 9.
At this year's expo, the Republic of Slovenia and the Slovak Republic will be the guest countries of honor, while Heilongjiang province will be the guest province of honor. Senior officials and diplomats from Central and Eastern European countries, as well as representatives of international business associations, business leaders, and delegates from numerous Chinese provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) are anticipated to attend.
The exhibition area will span 20,000 sq meters with over 400 exhibitors, setting new records. More than 8,000 specialty products will be showcased. The event is expected to attract 15,000 professional visitors. A new exhibition zone featuring five sections: Books, Art, Paintings, Seal-Carving, and Tourism, will highlight the cultural richness of CEE countries.
This year, the expo will feature a number of business matchmaking events and government exchanges organized under the "11+4+N" format. The "11" refers to 11 major activities, including the Opening Ceremony. The "4" represents four events: the 9th Meeting of the China-CEEC Business Council, the 7th China-CEEC Dialogue on Customs, Inspection and Quarantine Cooperation, the China-CEEC Mayors Forum, and the China-CEEC International Regatta. The "N" refers to over 50 industry-specific and country-specific matchmaking sessions.
