The China Pavilion has a special Chinese food area. Authentic food such as bingtanghulu (candied haws on a stick), milk tea, dumplings, and lightly fried dumpling attracted a large number of visitors to stop and taste.
And the Agricultural Society of Chinese Expatriates in France and the French Association for the Development of International Trade in Agricultural Food Products and Technology conducted themed live broadcasts and cloud forums to promote and establish in-depth professional exchanges in the agricultural industry between China and France.
