Fu Qinghui of Zhuhai Elec-Tech International noted that most of their previous foreign trade orders could only be handled online due to the pandemic. Fu went further to state that the Canton Fair provides an excellent opportunity for the enterprise to meet with its global customers.

This is the first time that Zhuhai Comking Electric - a specialized, elaborative, characteristic, and emerging "little giant" (small and medium-sized) enterprise - has attended the Canton Fair, said Wang Youle, of the enterprise's intelligent energy department. 

Wang added that the enterprise is expected to meet more customers and showcase the charm of Zhuhai's new energy enterprises at the fair. 

The Zhuhai Bureau of Commerce has set up a special work group to provide considerate services to participating enterprises. These include paying on-site visits, offering guidance, organizing trainings, and providing network technical support. 

In addition, during the event, the delegation offers 24-hour network support services for enterprises to ensure smooth operation.

Wang Wei, head of the Zhuhai Bureau of Commerce, put forward that Zhuhai will launch a series of policies and measures to boost the development of foreign trade, striving to promote the city's high-quality development. 

Over 35,000 enterprises from China and abroad are attending this year's on-site Canton Fair, setting a historical high in both exhibition area and number of participating enterprises.
