Through the Canton Fair, we can see and understand which products are suitable for our imports, which is an excellent opportunity to explore new business opportunities Indonesian buyers Esther Dangosu and Sampson Monday are gathering to attract new trends. The Canton Fair is not only an important "window" for China's opening up to the outside world, but also a witness to the Canton Fair building an important bridge connecting Chinese foreign trade enterprises with the world, and helping to promote the high-quality development of China's trade and the common prosperity of the world.
