The fifth China International Import Expo — the first major international exhibition since the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which ended on Oct 22 — will attract a larger number of nations, regions and international organizations than the previous expo, officials said on Tuesday. A total of 145 nations, regions and international organizations and enterprises from 127 nations and regions will participate in the event from Nov 5 to 10, far more than last year, Sun Chenghai, deputy director of the CIIE Bureau, said at a news conference in Shanghai.
