BEIJING, April 19 (Xinhua) -- The 135th session of the China Import and Export Fair, also known as the Canton Fair, saw an increase in overseas purchasers compared with the previous edition, an official said on Friday.

The online version of the Canton Fair continued to operate this year. About 294,000 overseas buyers from 229 countries and regions had participated in the online fair by Thursday, Guo said. An influx of enthusiastic overseas buyers is not the only highlight of this year's fair; it also features an array of high-tech companies showcasing innovative products. More than 90,000 intelligent products were exhibited during the first phase of the fair this year, with transactions of industrial automation equipment and new energy vehicles increasing significantly over the previous edition. The first phase of the 135th Canton Fair started on Monday and concludes in Guangzhou on Friday.
