The China International Import Expo, serving as a powerful tool for trade facilitation, will ultimately result in increased global trade, Georgia Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze said Monday.

The platform brings an additional momentum to the engine of global economy growth through promotion and support to producers all over the world, Bakhtadze said.

It is a great opportunity for Georgian companies to become part of global trade, he said at the parallel session on trade and investment during the Hongqiao International Economic and Trade Forum.

The forum, as one important part of the CIIE, was organized by the Ministry of Commerce and Shanghai municipal government.
