Participants also reached trade contracts worth 4 billion yuan at the expo with an exhibition area of 83,800 square meters.

The fair is a new platform of cooperation and opening up for Sichuan in line with the country's Belt and Road Initiative, the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the western development strategy, said Wu Xiankui, a provincial government official.

It will boost investment and trade in the development of Sichuan and western China, he said.
