Madam Reindorf-Attoh also stressed that the WTC Accra is a proactive trade development organization that aims to strengthen local businesses by providing them with the worldwide WTCA network to reach international markets through trade and exhibition promotion in and outbound trade missions and trade education and market research.
Head of Economic and Commercial Section at the Chinese Embassy, Chai Zhijing, said the Canton Fair which would be held in China in November would for the first time have an import exhibition during which products from other countries would be sold on the Chinese market.
