The opening ceremony of the Expo introduced the "Beijing Initiative" calling on the business community to firmly support the multilateral trading system and promote more efficient, green and healthy global development. The five-day Expo is organized by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade. Its total area is larger than 17 football fields and is divided into six zones: advanced manufacturing, green agriculture, clean energy, digital technology, healthy living and intelligent transportation. This year, more than 650 companies are participating in the Expo, a third of which are from 75 foreign countries and regions. On the first day, the Expo also hosted 14 industry conferences with ceremonies to sign contracts and cooperation agreements.
