EXHIBITORS from Central and Eastern European Countries (CEECs) have pinned great hopes on the third China-CEEC Expo and International Consumer Goods Fair, looking forward to opportunities to further expand cooperation with the colossal Chinese market, the Global Times learned on Monday.

'It is our third time attending the expo, and we are very much looking forward to establishing connections with high-quality professional buyers and outbound tourism practitioners from all over China,' Jonas Huang, an assistant with the Croatian National Tourist Board's Shanghai representative office, told the Global Times on Monday.
