Highlighting last year's participation of Norwegian companies in the CIIE, Kristoffersen, also commercial counselor of the Norwegian Embassy in Beijing, said the event had provided a valuable platform for the businesses, particularly those in nutrition and health sectors, to showcase their products.

They have realized that the CIIE is "an excellent arena to highlight their innovations," he said.

Kristoffersen expressed belief that China will offer significant opportunities for Norwegian businesses in its promotion of green transition and innovation-driven growth.

Sigmund Bjorgo, Norwegian Seafood Council's country director to China, emphasized the importance of the CIIE as a major meeting point for Norwegian seafood companies to connect with industry stakeholders and consumers.

"The CIIE has become an essential event for the Norwegian seafood industry. Being part of the Country Exhibition this year will elevate our profile and help us expand our presence in the Chinese market," Bjorgo told Xinhua.

Expressing confidence in the Chinese market, Bjorgo, who had previously served in the same position, said, "The growth of Norwegian seafood exports has been impressive, particularly for salmon, which has grown fivefold since 2018."

The 7th CIIE, scheduled to be held in Shanghai from Nov. 5 to 10, has attracted participants from 152 countries, regions and international organizations, and achieved a new record with 297 Fortune Global 500 companies and industry leaders set to attend.

Since its first edition in 2018, this expo has become an important stage spotlighting China's new development paradigm, a platform for high-level opening up, and a public good for the whole world.

The previous six editions saw nearly 2,500 new products, technologies and services make their debuts, with combined intended turnover reaching over 420 billion U.S. dollars.
