The fourth China International Consumer Products Expo, themed on "Share open opportunities, Co-create a better life" is set to open on Saturday in Haikou, Hainan province.

The six-day expo will last until April 18, and expects to attract more than 3,000 brands from 59 countries and regions to join. The United Kingdom, Mongolia and Malaysia will showcase their products in the form of national exhibition groups for the first time.

The construction of the booths is underway at the Hainan International Convention and Exhibition Center in Haikou, which is going to be the main venue of the expo.

There will be 318 brands from 11 RCEP member countries participating this year, with a total exhibition area of over 3,000 square meters.

The expo has become an essential platform and prowess evidence for RCEP member states to share China's opening-up opportunities and carry out international economic and trade cooperation, said Sheng Qiuping, vice-minister of commerce, at a news conference in Beijing, on March 27.
