2nd Chinese expo in a month in Mumbai

Mumbai, Dec. 6:

Less than a month after receiving an encouraging response, Chinese entrepreneurs will be back in Mumbai again to display their wares at the 9th China Products Exhibition 2011 to be held between December 15 and 17. A similar expo China Sourcing Fairs was held between November 23 and 25 in Mumbai.

The growing efforts being taken by Chinese companies to tap the Indian markets reflect slowdown of demand from its traditional markets in the US and Europe.

The China Products exhibition will provide a platform for Indian and Chinese entrepreneurs to interact with each other to explore long-term business associations in the form of tie-ups, joint ventures, collaborations and import-export trading relations.

Over 120 Chinese companies will display extensive range of products across a wide section of industries such as building, construction and interiors, diesel engine and diesel generator sets, electrical appliances, electronics, fabrics and garments, food and beverages, gifts and toys, hardware and tools, health and hygiene, home appliances and industrial products.

The trade show is being organised by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, sub-councils of Commercial Industry, Guangdong, Ningbo and Hangzhou and supported by the All India Association of Industries and the India-China Chamber of Commerce and Industries.

Mr Suresh Prabhu, former Union Cabinet Minister for Power, Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises, who will preside over the expo, said there are a lot of opportunities for India and China to collaborate and develop positive relations based on trust and friendship for mutual benefit
