Dette er den tredje utsettelsen av Canton Fair på 67 år.

On the afternoon of March 23, the Press Office of the People's Government of Guangdong Province held a press conference.

Det ble kunngjort at den 127. Canton Fair ikke vil bli avholdt 15. april som planlagt på grunn av dagens situasjon angående COVID-19-pandemien globalt.

På en vanlig pressekonferanse arrangert av handelsdepartementet 26. mars uttalte Liu Changyu, den andre inspektøren for utenrikshandel i handelsdepartementet, at den 127. Canton Fair ble utsatt. Når den bestemte datoen er bestemt, vil den bli utgitt snart.

På pressekonferansen ba en reporter at den 127. Canton Fair ikke vil bli avholdt som planlagt 15. april. Er det en foreløpig ny dato for arrangementet, og vil det bli avlyst i vår?

In response, Liu Changyu responded on the spot that the Canton Fair is an important platform for China's foreign trade and opening up, and is a "barometer" and a "wind vane" for China's foreign trade.

Since the outbreak of the  COVID-19, the Ministry of Commerce and the Guangdong Provincial People's Government, on the one hand, do all the preparations for the 127th Canton Fair as planned, on the other hand, closely follow the trend of the epidemic, analyze the relevant impacts in depth, and adjust and improve various programs. "After research, the 127th Canton Fair will be postponed. We will continue to make careful preparations with relevant departments and localities to improve various work plans including epidemic prevention and control. After the specific date is determined, we will announce at first time. "
