Oversea manufacturers took part in the Hong Kong Products Exhibition
The Exhibitions not only attracted Hong Kong people to come to visit, but also drew overseas buyers to stop by. To this end, the CMA issued invitation letters to the members of overseas trade associations. For example, trade associations and merchants from Taiwan were received by CMA staff at the airport on their visits to the Exhibitions. At that time, overseas manufacturers mainly came from Southeast Asian countries. These visitors were especially interested in checking out stalls which displayed daily commodities such as lanterns and antimony wares.
