The three-day fair will use Guiyang's duty-free online shopping website for livestreaming to introduce goods and process transactions.

It also invited renowned entrepreneurs and professionals in cross-border e-commerce to share their experiences through livestreaming on the fair's official website.

The fair, namely the 2020 Guiyang Import and Export Online Fair, is also broadcasting a video conference featuring discussions about trade and opening-up on June 26 on its website, with delegates from various countries' trade and commerce departments.

The fair will also broadcast online discussions on June 26 on its website about measures to improve Guiyang's business environment.

In addition to online events, the fair has offline exhibitions of coffees, desserts, Southeast Asian-style fairs, and shows about Guiyang's intangible cultural heritage at Guiyang's tax-bonded G7 square.
