Canton Fair signs up partners in e-commerce

Organizers of the China Import and Export Fair, the country's largest twice-a-year trade event and a barometer of its exports, signed agreements with 12 domestic trade delegations on Wednesday to facilitate the development of its e-commerce services.

Wang Zhiping, director of the China Foreign Trade Center, said that the alliances will help Chinese exporters boost their efficiency by reducing costs.

"We will speed up efforts to build a one-stop service in this e-commerce platform, covering online inquiries, payments, logistics, customs clearance, insurance and financing for Chinese exporters," said Wang.
