Trade Events to Be Held Consecutively at Goyang KINTEX

<Yonhapnews> Gyeonggi Province will host exhibitions and trade conferences consecutively at the Korea International Exhibition Center (KINTEX) in Goyang for two months starting in September to attract overseas buyers and potential investors in the latter half of this year.

According to the province on the 19th, from September 13 to October 5 at the Korea International Exhibition Center, the 'World Korean Merchants Convention' will be held with approximately 1,500 overseas Koreans from about 40 countries worldwide participating in trade, investment, and overseas employment briefing sessions.

Subsequently, an automotive parts exhibition will be held from September 22 to 25, and the Korea Electronics Exhibition, one of South Korea's five major exhibitions, will be held from October 11 to 15. Three large-scale trade events will be hosted at the Korea International Exhibition Center over the two-month period starting in September.

Additionally, from October 9 for two days, the World Chinese Merchants Convention will be held at COEX in Seoul. Of the approximately 4,500 Chinese overseas businesspeople participating, around 1,000 will be invited to the Korea International Exhibition Center to hold trade and investment consultation meetings with small and medium-sized enterprises in the province.

A provincial official said, "This will be a good opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises in the province to meet overseas buyers domestically without spending large sums to go abroad, thereby opening up export channels, and to promote Gyeonggi Province and KINTEX to the world."
