The 11th Macao International Trade and Investment Fair (MIF)
concluded Tuesday with a contract value surpassing US$300
million.
Some 148 commerce and trade delegations from 47 countries and
regions participated in the four-day event, the organizers
disclosed Tuesday.
The fair, sponsored by the Macao Trade and Investment Promotion
Institute (MTIPI), was a venue for over 30 seminars, conferences
and product promotion programs.
It featured 336 exhibition booths and pre-arranged 380 "
