SHANGHAI, November 10. /Dunyo IA/. The 9th China International Import Expo (CIIE-2026) is taking place in Shanghai on November 5–10, reports Dunyo IA correspondent.

The event is held under the theme “A New Era, a Shared Future”. It brings together 4,142 foreign companies from 62 countries, regions, and international organizations. For the first time, the total exhibition area has exceeded 440,000 square meters.

More than 480 exhibitors are presenting their products globally, in Asia, or in China for the first time this year, setting a new record in the expo’s history. Around 200 companies and organizations are also participating in all nine editions of CIIE as “full participants”.

At the country pavilion, more than 15 ministries and sectoral organizations of Uzbekistan are showcasing their products at the “Made in Uzbekistan” stand. Representatives of several Chinese companies visiting the pavilion noted that Uzbek-Chinese relations are developing rapidly and have reached a qualitatively new level. In their view, this is reflected in achievements in infrastructure, energy, mining, agriculture, and high technology, as well as the growing number of joint projects in recent years.

Handicrafts, traditional fabrics, and garments made from them have attracted particular interest among visitors. Products from Uzbekistan’s chemical and mining industries have also generated strong demand.

The expo’s business program includes sector-specific B2B sessions for representatives of different countries and roundtable discussions for corporate delegations. During the meetings, two digital solutions are set to be launched: a compliance service for cross-border data transfers and a digital credit insurance module based on Shanghai’s International Trade Single Window platform. In addition, agreements on several joint projects are scheduled to be signed simultaneously through the platform.
