More than 400 overseas exhibitors participated in the exhibition, with more than 5,000 kinds of exhibits. The expo will last until Saturday.

China will make comprehensive efforts to ensure services for the expo and promote the high-quality development of economic ties between China and the CEECs, the Ministry of Commerce said on May 11.

The ministry has planned a series of economic and trade activities, including a purchasing fair for products from the CEECs, to help the expo achieve pragmatic results, spokesperson Shu Jueting told at a press conference.
