Organizers of the Canton Fair, China's largest twice-yearly trade event and a barometer of its exports, have already signed six strategic alliances with leading global trade associations for the further development of its newly-launched e-commerce trade service.

Liu Jianjun, spokesman for the Canton Fair and deputy director of China Foreign Trade Center, said the e-commerce platform - e-cantonfair.com - will help boost China's foreign trade and increase overseas investment.

"All the trade partners will organize their members to use the Canton Fair e-commerce service and promote it through their various channels overseas," Liu told China Daily.
