Chongqing is the only municipality directly under the central government in western China and is viewed as a key engine of western economic development and a major force in western construction. According to the source, beginning in the first quarter of a certain year, Chongqing’s growth led the country for ten consecutive quarters; its economy reached the trillion-yuan level and ranked fifth nationwide. With Chongqing and Chengdu as leaders, the western economy is growing rapidly, and agriculture and industry—represented by food, pharmaceuticals, automobiles and electronic products—are advancing quickly, driving a new round of western development.

The expo will take place at the Chongqing International Expo Center, also Chongqing’s largest and most upscale international exhibition platform.
