On Aug 14th, the 16th Xinjiang Kashi-Central and South Asia Commodity Fair, known as the Kashi fair, officially opened. Guangdong was invited to serve as the first guest province of honor and organized 304 Guangdong companies to participate, with a total exhibition area of more than 1,000 square meters, the largest scale in the fair's history. Notably, more than 60 representatives of entrepreneurs from Hong Kong and Macao made their debut at the fair, injecting new momentum into high-quality industrial cooperation between Guangdong and Xinjiang.

Jumaev Dilovar, a buyer representative from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Tajikistan, has given himself a Chinese name, Zhang Wei. Speaking fluent Chinese, he told reporters that this was his first visit to the Kashi fair, but his years of experience attending the Canton Fair had given him a good understanding of the global influence of Guangdong's smart manufacturing, particularly its smart electronic products. He tried on multiple pairs of AI smart glasses and placed an order on the spot.

The Shenzhen Pavilion brought together 42 leading companies and specialized and sophisticated enterprises, including Huawei, BYD, HONOR, DJI, Skyworth and Mindray. The negotiation area of Shenzhen Yiming Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., which was participating in the fair for the first time, was particularly busy. Wen Xin, the company's product director, said that AI wearable products targeting emerging markets in Central and South Asia would be adapted with the languages of the respective countries.

The Small Home Appliances Pavilion brought together 19 Guangdong companies. Ge Yifan, manager of small home appliances at the Urumqi Operations Center of Midea Group, told reporters that foreign buyers had already approached the company for discussions on the first day of the fair, with coffee makers and rice cookers among its key products. Ding Yuewen, head of Bear Electric Appliance's Xinjiang regional operations, said that in response to local and Central Asian specialties such as pilaf and nang flatbread, Bear Electric has introduced rice cookers with capacities ranging from 1.5 to 3 liters that allow consumers to make pilaf at home, catering to the needs of younger consumers.

In addition, the "Guangdong Goods Go Global·Xinjiang Goods Go Beyond the Tianshan Mountains" brand exhibition area features 30 standard booths, focusing on high-tech products, agriculture and cultural tourism, and textiles and apparel to help Guangdong manufacturers expand into new markets in western China. Pakistani buyer Samina was thoroughly enjoying her visit to the fair. She said she had bought many things that were unavailable in Pakistan and praised the scale of the Kashi fair.

来自塔吉克斯坦工商会的采购代表Jumaev Dilovar给自己起了一个中文名字——张伟。他用流利的中文告诉记者，这是他第一次来喀交会，但多年参加广交会的经验让他非常了解广东智造尤其是广东智能电子产品在全世界的影响力。他熟练地拿起多副AI智能眼镜试戴，并现场下单。

深圳馆集结了华为、比亚迪、荣耀、大疆、创维、迈瑞等42家龙头及专精特新企业亮相。首次参展的深圳市义鸣电子科技有限公司的洽谈区非常火爆，产品总监温新表示，面向中亚、南亚这些新兴市场的AI穿戴产品，将更新相应国家的语言。

小家电形象馆内，19家广东企业共同亮相。美的集团乌鲁木齐运营中心小家电业务经理葛一帆告诉记者，首日参展已有外国客商前来联系交流，咖啡机、电饭煲是本次喀交会上的主打产品；小熊电器新疆大区负责人丁跃文则表示，针对新疆和中亚特色的抓饭、烤馕等美食，小熊电器推出可在家里做“抓饭”的1.5升到3升的电饭锅，满足年轻人需求。

此外，“广货行天下·疆品下天山”品牌展示区设30个标准展位，聚焦高新技术产品、农文旅、纺织服装，推动广东制造西行开拓增量市场。巴基斯坦客商samina在会场逛得不亦乐乎，她说自己买到了很多在巴基斯坦买不到的东西，并盛赞喀交会的规模。
