Shen Xiaoqing，head of the Guizhou Department of Commerce, made a speech.

China has a long history and rich legacy of drinking culture. And Guizhou is the home of Moutai, the national liquor of China. Our province is a big producer of Baijiu, the Chinese liquor, represented by Moutai. The alcohol manufacturing industry here has a long history and uses special techniques, which has won national reputation.

The Guizhou Alcohol Expo is the first in the province to be approved by the state council, and the only national and international platform in China to demonstrate the industry, promote exchanges and development. It aims to boost the international alcohol trade.

The theme of the expo centers on exhibiting the good alcohol to the world, and promoting the cooperation among the international alcohol industry.
