The Shougang Park exhibition area of the 2021 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) themed “Towards Digital Future and Service Driven Development” taken on September 5, 2021.

The 2021 China International Fair on Trade in Services (CIFTIS) held last September has drawn worldwide attention.

As the largest comprehensive exhibition in the field of global trade in services, the fair sent the world a positive signal for robust recovery with the participation of more than 12,000 companies from 153 countries and regions. The host country China is now on the go to bring its opening-up to a higher level with new measures in the pipeline. The CIFTIS showed participants the huge opportunities of the Chinese market and created a key platform for cooperation and exchanges on trade in services, adding new momentum to the recovery and growth of the world economy and trade.

As Chinese President Xi Jinping pointed out in his speech at the CIFTIS, “Let us join hands to defeat the COVID-19 pandemic and get through these tough times. Using peace, development, and win-win cooperation as the ‘golden key,’ we will be able to address the challenges facing the world economy and international trade and investment, and create a brighter future for all!”
