The third edition of China Trade Fair Egypt a three-day fair, held at Cairo International Convention Center, kicked off on 25th August has registered 100 percent growth in exhibitor number, featuring 500 Chinese leading companies and over 20,000 products. Looked like a mini-China, the fair gathered hundreds of Chinese business men showing their products at the hall that was decorated with red slogans and signs, reflecting a taste of Chinese culture.
Zhou Chunxiang, project manager with Meorient international exhibition company which organized the exhibition said that this is the third China Trade Fair in Egypt, the growing exhibitor number reflects the keen interest of Chinese supplier to do business with their Egyptian counterparts.
They hope to build a platform not only in Egypt, but also in Africa and the Middle East to help the Chinese companies enter the market and satisfy the demand in the regions. The exhibition provides the buyers and sellers with different kinds of services, including a market matching zone, translation and consultation.
The close ties between China and Egypt enjoy a further strength where such fairs made it possible for Egyptian traders to interact with quality manufacturers from China, and at the same time give more opportunities for Chinese companies to start business in North Africa’s most populous country.
Key product sectors at the show include textile and garments, home appliances, lighting, building material, gifts, household, hardware, tools and food.
Mohammed al-Sayyed, an importer of home curtains, has reached a business deal with a Chinese company in less than half an hour. He said that this was the fastest business deal ever done as an importer, adding that the exhibition helped him save money as he planned to travel to China to order some products for his business in Egypt.
China Trade Fair is a series of trade show held in nine countries including Poland, Turkey, South Africa, Jordan, Brazil, Kazakhstan, Egypt, the UAE (Dubai) and India; it is a part of the official platform of China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative.
