The 8th China International Import Expo was held in Shanghai from Nov 5 to 10. This year, more than 30 companies from Changning district participated in this world's first national import-themed expo, covering six major exhibition areas from medical equipment and healthcare products, to automobiles and smart mobility, intelligent industry and technology, consumer goods, food and agricultural products, and trade in services.

On Nov 5, the first day of the CIIE, the Changning trade delegation reported intended deals totaling 350 million yuan ($49.3 million). The largest single transaction was signed by New Zealand Dairy company Theland, a veteran exhibitor making its eighth appearance.

As one of the core hosting areas for the CIIE, Changning has consistently embraced and amplified the spillover effects of the expo, attracting more companies to transit from exhibitors to investors, and from first-time participants to long-term partners. The district continues to foster a favorable environment for international business cooperation, contributing to the CIIE's growing influence and success.
