- The 4th International Association Conference (November 2026): Wu Yong officially invited AITIA to lead a delegation to the conference on November 25–26, 2026. This major event will serve as a platform for business matching and site visits.

AITIA Highlights 6 Major Projects in Thailand
Ms. Chamaiporn Chuecharoen presented the mission and achievements of AITIA, unveiling a roadmap for six major trade exhibitions in Thailand scheduled for 2026. She invited Anhui investors and entrepreneurs to participate.
While CCPIT Anhui noted that its 2026 budget and schedule were already finalized—limiting their direct participation in AITIA’s specific events this year—both parties reached a consensus to use “Exhibitions as the Starting Point and Forums as the Platform” to drive long-term cooperation.
This meeting marks a significant milestone in linking trade opportunities between Thai businesses and Anhui Province. Both organizations will maintain close coordination to ensure tangible economic results for both regions moving forward.
