It is being hosted by the local city and provincial governments, the central Commerce Ministry and the national body China Council for the Promotion of International Trade.

A total of 71 projects worth 13.2 billion yuan ($2 billion) in investments have been signed at the expo so far, covering tourism, trade, agriculture, e-commerce and other areas.

As part of the expo, a duty-free goods fair — involving nearly 200 international brands — was also held.

In the next few years, the expo in southern China, will look to become an annual feature for companies from home and abroad.
