UTF Triggers Expo Economy

Urumqi Trade Fair has been successfully held for 18 sessions since 1992. It brings along the development of XJ's expo economy.

At the first Urumqi Trade Fair  in 1992, there were only 821 display booths. However this year, the indoor display booths number 1256, increasing one third, while they still can not meet the demand.

Next year, the Fair will be upgraded to China-Eurasian Economic and Trade Fair. It will radiate Central Asia and Europe at a higher level and a wider scope.

Drawing on the experience  of Urumqi Trade Fair, the annual Kashgar Central & South Asia Commodity Fair has been held for 6 sessions successfully.

ZHOU YUHUI, DIRECTOR, KASHGAR FOREIGN TRADE & ECONOMIC BUREAU:

"The foreign trade volume was only 65 million USD before Kashgar Commodity Fair.It increased to 1.85 billion USD in 2008. Such a big progress is benefited from the experience we drawn from Urumqi Trade Fair."

HU WEI, EXECUTIVE DEPUTY DIRECTOR LEADING COMMITTEE OF 19TH UTF:

"Urumqi Trade Fair surely leads the development of XJ's expo economy. It fully exerts XJ's location advantage as the regional international trade center."
