SHANGHAI: For Jean-Paul Agon, CEO of international cosmetic company L’Oreal, joining the China International Import Expo (CIIE) for the third time is both exciting and meaningful.

“In a year when there is this (Covid-19) crisis, when globalisation is challenged, I think the best possible signal is exactly to organise this CIIE. I attended both (previous expos) and the two were a fantastic success, and we expect the third edition to be also a great success, ” said Agon, who first visited China in 1997.
