The 137th China Import and Export Fair, widely known as the Canton Fair, has seen strong engagement from countries participating in the Belt and Road Initiative, with over 183,000 overseas buyers attending as of Saturday.

The Canton Fair, currently in its third phase, hosted 134 industrial and commercial chambers, including the Argentine-Chinese Chamber, with their delegations in attendance. Belt and Road Initiative delegations accounted for 51 percent of the total, highlighting the growing depth of trade partnerships.

The strong participation further expanded the depth and breadth of international cooperation for exhibitors at the fair.
Taking place from April 15 to May 5, this edition of the fair is divided into three themed phases -- "Advanced Manufacturing," "Quality Home Living," and the current phase, "Better Life," which opened on Thursday.
