The ongoing sixth annual China Sourcing Fairs in Dubai is showcasing seven halls of suppliers featuring electronics, home products, textiles, children’s products, gifts and hardware.

The event, which opened on May 29, will conclude today (May 31) at the Dubai International Convention & Exhibition Centre.

'China is already the region's second-largest trading partner, with trade from Qatar, Bahrain and Egypt expected to grow by 14 percent annually over the next five years,' said Tommy Wong, president of event organiser Global Sources Exhibitions.

'By bringing quality China suppliers right here to Dubai – the region's largest re-export market and gateway for trade – we are facilitating profitable trading opportunities between local buyers and China suppliers.'

The provincial and municipal governments and other organisations sponsoring pavilions this year include Fujian, Hebei, Hunan, Jiangxi, Tianjin, Dalian, Yiwu, and the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products (CCCME).

The fairs are endorsed by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The China Sourcing Fairs are exclusively for importers, traders, and other volume buyers who purchase consumer products for resale to markets throughout the Mena region. Last year, 10,038 qualified buyers from over 80 countries attended the event. – TradeArabia News Service
