134th Canton Fair Fall 2023 Is Here

and Leaders from Around the World Are in for a Treat

By Yvonne Luker · Global Chamber

Welcome to the 134th Canton Fair. Global Chamber® has a long-standing partnership with Canton Fair and we support trade across countries and borders with all countries. Canton Fair, also known at the China Import and Export Fair, was established in the spring of 1957. Co-hosted by the Ministry of Commerce of People's Republic of China and the People's Government of Guangdong Province, and organized by China Foreign Trade Centre, it is held every spring and autumn in Guangzhou, China.

Canton Fair is a cross-sector, comprehensive international trading event with the largest scale in the world, including the most complete exhibit variety, the largest buyer attendance, the most diverse buyer source countries and the greatest business turnover in China. It is hailed as China’s No.1 Fair and the barometer of China’s foreign trade.

Most recently Global Chamber supported a program advocating for trade with China and attendance by companies from around the world at the October and November Canton Fair and China International Import Expo.

"No matter what's going on politically, we need to be collaborating. We need to be working together. Trade is in the best interests of both our countries... working together and building a village of traders and supporting trade are all good things." - Doug Bruhnke, CEO at Global Chamber
