The national pavilion will showcase Moldovan wines, fruit and other local agri-food products.

“The Republic of Moldova, situated in Eastern Europe, has a long tradition of winemaking. Favourable soil and climate conditions, together with distinctive grape varieties, give Moldovan wines a unique flavour. The ninth edition of the CIIE will showcase Moldovan wines, fruit and other specific agri-food products,” the organisers stated.

Participation in the exhibition offers selected companies the opportunity to promote their products and services on the Chinese market, to establish contacts with importers and distributors, to identify potential business partners, and to take part in business meetings and networking events. At the same time, they will be able to analyse the requirements and trends of the Chinese market and gauge interest in their own products.

At this year’s edition, the Republic of Moldova is among the new participants in the Countries’ Pavilion, alongside Romania and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).

Record exhibition space

The event will bring together over four thousand companies from 162 countries, regions and organisations. The section dedicated to national pavilions will include 69 countries and international organisations. Around half of the 4,142 foreign companies that have confirmed their participation will be exhibiting for the first time, including over 300 companies listed in the Fortune Global 500.

The total exhibition area will exceed 440,000 square metres, a record for this event.

The China International Import Expo was launched in 2018 on the initiative of President Xi Jinping, becoming the world’s first national exhibition dedicated exclusively to imports. At the previous edition, the value of preliminary memoranda of understanding reached a record high of US$83.49 billion.
