The 32nd China Lanzhou Investment and Trade Fair will run from July 9 to 13, bringing together participants from 31 countries and international organizations, featuring more than 1,200 exhibitors.

This year's fair will include five exhibition zones covering international cooperation along the Silk Road, regional collaboration, key industries, consumer and export products, and Gansu province's signature agricultural brands.

South Korea and Pakistan will be the guest countries of honor, and nearly 300 overseas delegates — including representatives from 36 foreign embassies, international organizations, and global businesses — are expected to attend.

The event will host a series of investment matchmaking sessions focusing on green energy, advanced manufacturing, modern agriculture, biomedicine, digital economy, and cross-border trade. On July 9 and 10, five economic and trade matchmaking events and three exhibition opening ceremonies will connect international partners with businesses in Gansu.

Running alongside the fair, a province-wide consumption campaign from July 1 to 30 will offer discounts on tourism, cultural performances, local specialty products, and hotels, with vouchers available at more than 600 participating businesses across Gansu.
