SHANGHAI, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) -- Singaporean companies have expressed great enthusiasm in seeking business opportunities and partnership at the upcoming China International Import Expo (CIIE), said representatives from the Singapore Business Federation.
The federation will lead a delegation of nearly 350 senior business representatives from over 80 enterprises from Singapore to attend the expo, to be held in Shanghai on Nov. 5-10.
The enterprises will showcase Singaporean goods and services in sectors such as logistics and transportation, finance and banking, education and healthcare, according to the federation.
