cars, steel materials, machinery and equipment, chemicals, and ICT products
among others. Meanwhile, the island imported sizable amounts of oil, mineral and
chemical products from the region in the same year

local buyers will have opportunities to select from a wide range of products.
Items on display will cover car parts and accessories, time switches, cables,
fiber-optic materials, water dispensers, fasteners, fittings, textiles, PU/PVC
materials, industrial fans, vacuum cleaners, men`s belts, garment accessories,
