The first day saw overwhelming popularity! The joint booth of IBI Pakistan Digital Economy Headquarters and the Pakistan Embassy attracted numerous businesses to stop by for discussions.

September 9, 2026, the China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) grandly opened at Beijing Shougang Park. This year's CIFTIS is the first national-level comprehensive trade in services exhibition in the opening year of the "15th Five-Year Plan," focusing on the three major themes of "expanding openness, deepening cooperation, and leading innovation." Approximately 90 countries and international organizations set up exhibitions and conferences, with over 1,800 companies participating offline and 473 Fortune Global 500 and industry-leading companies gathering together.

On the opening day, the "Pakistan National Pavilion," jointly created by IBI Pakistan Digital Economy Headquarters and the Embassy of Pakistan in China, held its opening ceremony and ribbon-cutting event at Booth S01F1-13 in Hall 1 of Shougang Park. Khalil Hashmi, Ambassador of Pakistan to China; An Shen, Vice President of IBI and General Manager of Guolian Zhiyun; Shao Zhaojun, Vice President of IBI and Senior Vice President of TDD; Kadir, General Manager of Guolian Cross-border Strategic Planning Department; and Daniel, General Manager of IBI Pakistan Digital Economy Headquarters, joined hands with multiple Pakistani enterprises to cut the ribbon for the pavilion. This marks the first joint exhibition by IBI Pakistan Digital Economy Headquarters and the Embassy of Pakistan. The exhibition area showcases multiple Pakistani enterprises, systematically presenting Pakistan's industrial advantages and cooperation potential in information technology, digital services, and digital trade. It provides a high-level platform for showcasing and connecting China-Pakistan industrial internet and digital trade cooperation.

On the first day of the pavilion's opening, the booth attracted a continuous stream of visitors, with company representatives coming to negotiate. Exhibitors from various fields, including chemicals, building materials, automotive equipment, and new energy, stopped by to engage in in-depth discussions on core topics such as overseas market expansion, supply chain digital collaboration, and localized operations.
