The 2023 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) will be held from September 2 to 6 in Beijing. The exhibition will span 155,000 square meters across two major venues, and more than 2,200 companies from around the world have confirmed their participation. 

Themed "openness leads development, cooperation creates a win-win future," the fair will be held at the China National Convention Center and Shougang Park. 

The total value of China's service trade climbed 12.9 percent year on year to nearly 6 trillion yuan (about $833.5 billion) in 2022, retaining the second spot globally for nine years in a row, according to Chen Chunjiang, assistant minister of commerce.

Having attracted over 600,000 exhibitors from 196 nations and regions since it was launched in 2012, the CIFITS acts as an important platform for China to expand opening-up, deepen cooperation and guide innovation.

This year's event features numerous overseas participants and abundant offline activities, which experts say will play a significant role in expanding international cooperation in service trade.

How's the preparation going right now? Let's find out!
