Rajat Gupta是Trends India的运营者、EthnicIndia公司首席执行官。他告诉记者，公司第一次来云南参展是2011年的时候，那时也是公司首次进入中国市场，之后，每年都要来昆明参展两次。进入中国市场后，除了参加展销会，Trend India也与云南展开了商务合作。许多昆明的商家和公司从TrendIndia购入印度手工艺品，然后在云南本地售卖。同时，Trend India也从昆明的商家进口云南手工艺品和银器，在印度境内销售。

Rajat Gupta is the proprietor of Trends India and CEO of Ethnic India. The company entered China’s market in 2011 by joining the exhibitions in Yunnan and now regularly visits Kunming twice a year. Rajat Gupta told us Trend India is currently having business collaborations with Yunnan companies. “We have quite a few Kunming shop keepers and companies who buy Indian Handicrafts from us to sell locally. We also buy Yunnan handicrafts and silver articles from Kunming to sell in India.”

这几年，Rajat Gupta去过中国其他城市参展，但云南在他心中始终占据着特殊的位置。“我第一次来中国就是在云南参展，这几年我认识了不少当地的朋友和合作伙伴。昆明是一座美丽的城市，拥有着得天独厚的气候，当地人特别和气，脸上总是挂满了笑容。昆明比起省外的其他城市惬意多了。”Rajat Gupta同时也表示，云南与印度领近，Trend India和云南商家在未来的合作也会越来越多，云南市场拥有着无限潜力和商机。

Rajat Gupta has exhibited in other provinces, but as his first entry point in China, Yunnan always holds a special position in his heart. “I have friends and partners in Yunnan. Beautiful city with a pleasant weather, people are always smiling and happy to help, much more relaxing and comfortable than other cities.” Rajat predicted that with Yunnan’s proximity to India, Trend India will see expanding cooperation with businesses of Yunnan, a market full of infinite commercial potentials.

随着往返云南次数的增多，Rajat Gupta越来越觉得中国与印度有很多共通点，他希望印度与中国尤其是云南的友谊、合作可以天长地久。

With more frequent shuttling between India and Yunnan, Rajat Gupta has found that the two countries have more in common than thought, and wishes the friendship and cooperation between the two countries, particularly that between Yunnan and India will be lasting.

It mainly imports furniture decoration, cleaning supplies, apparels, shoes and handicrafts from foreign countries for sale in stores and online shops in India. The company has imported goods from China before and was very satisfied with the quality, which gives rise to its intention to explore Chinese market.

Satnam Export公司的相关负责人告诉记者，此次商洽会是该公司首次来中国展销，公司最想与各国商家寻求电子产品领域的合作，例如手机、电脑等。“中国市场，尤其是云南市场，对于我们来说十分具有吸引力，其潜力也是巨大的。我们公司是印度知名的电商企业，我早就耳闻中国阿里巴巴的大名，我很希望公司在未来可以入驻阿里巴巴。”公司负责人自信地说。

巴基斯坦参展商：云南展销会的“老朋友”

PakistanExhibitors: Old friends of Yunnan exhibition fairs

巴基斯坦作为今年商洽会的主题国，在8号馆有208个展位，同时在7号馆开幕大厅也有600平方米展示区域，参展展品主要有皮革制品、木雕制品、民族服饰、玉石、珠宝、地毯、手工艺品等。

来自巴基斯坦的Kashif Bashir 可以称得上是云南展销会的老朋友，他的地毯公司M/s Bashir Carpet早在4年前就开始了云南的展销活动。在过去的四年里，Kashif Bashir每年都来云南展销地毯，生意一年比一年好。今年的商洽会Kashif也如期赴约，这次Kashif Bashir的 6个展位，位于8号馆的53至58号。

Kashif Bashir from Pakistan is an old friend of Yunnan exhibition fair. His company M/s Bashir Carpet started exhibiting in Yunnan four years ago and business keeps growing. Since then, Kashif Bashir comes to Yunnan annually to sell his carpets. Kashif shows up at 2017 SSACEIF as expected and has his six booths of 53-58 in Hall 8. 

M/s Bashir Carpet公司以手工的羊毛及丝绸地毯为主打产品。Kashif Bashir告诉记者，他的地毯都是纯手工编织而成，耗时数月，在原料选择、色泽调配、图案设计和编制技艺等方面的要求都极为严格。编织时，需要用到十余种甚至几十种不同颜色的线，用不同的编织方法才能组成一大块地毯。其地毯图案具有浓郁异域风情，配色柔和。Kashif Bashir告诉我们，巴基斯坦的手工地毯在全世界都是鼎鼎有名的，这也是中国消费者喜欢他们商品的重要原因。过去四年里，云南是他在中国的重要市场之一，云南的消费者很喜欢Kashif的手工地毯，他对此很高兴，并表示以后云南的展销会也将参加。

M/s Bashir Carpet company mainly sells handmade wool and silk carpets. Kashif Bashir told us that his rugs are all hand-woven and take months to make. He has strict standards for materials, color blending, pattern design and craftsmanship. Weaving a carpet involves threads of dozens of different colorsand different weaving methods. Carpets produced by M/s Bashir Carpet bears soft exotic charm. “Pakistani handmade carpets are highly-regarded in the world and that’s why Chinese customers like it.” Yunnan has been one of the key markets for Kashif Bashir in the past four years. Kashif Bashir is happy that many Yunnan people love his carpets and will keep coming to Yunnan exhibitions in the future.

在云南寻找到商机的同时，Kashif Bashir也深深爱上了这片土地。“云南人十分友好，4年来结交了不少朋友和合作伙伴。我特别喜欢云南的气候与自然风光。以后如果有机会，我很想去云南有名的大理、香格里拉看看。同时，我也希望我的生意在云南可以越做越好。”

In his search for business opportunity in Yunnan, Kashif Bashir also grows a deep love for this land. “Local people are very friendly. I have made quite a few Yunnan friends and business partners in the past 4 years. I particularly love the climate and natural landscape of Yunnan. If possible, I would like to travel to Dali and Shangri-La. Meanwhile, I hope my business in Yunnan will expand in the future.”

泰国参展商：从泰国节到商洽会

Thai exhibitors: After Kunming-Thailand Festival, herecomes 2017 SSACEIF

5月中旬，第9届昆明·泰国节在昆明圆满落幕。记者了解到，参加此次泰国节的不少泰国商家也将参加2017南亚东南亚国家商品展暨投资贸易洽淡会，有的商家是首次进入中国市场，有的是多年参加南博会的老朋友，都寄望通过商洽会与世界分享发展新机遇。

The 9th Kunming-Thailand Festival ended as a complete success in Kunming in mid-May and we learned that many of the participating Thai companies will also take part in 2017 South &Southeast Asia Commodity Expo and Investment Fair. Some of  them are new faces in the event and some are old friends of Yunnan - all of them wish to share the new opportunities with the world through 2017 SSACEIF.

昆明泰国节上，场面火爆的展位当属泰国调料Oldies。老板娘Ingkarat Sittiviriyachai是一位即有气质又干练的泰国女性，普通话、英语都驾轻就熟。Ingkarat告诉我们，去年的南博会上，她第三天就卖光了所有的酱料，所以今年的商洽会她带来了更多的货品。

One of the most popular booth in Kunming-Thailand Festival is “Oldies Sauce”. The boss, Ingkarat Sittiviriyachai, is an attractive and lovely Thai lady who is proficient in English and Chinese. Ingkarat told us that her sauces were all sold out in three days in at China-ASEAN Expo last year, so she brought moresauces this year.

Ingkarat展销的冬阴功酱，色泽深红，主要配料有柠檬草、鱼露、虾酱、青柠皮等，酸爽的味道十分符合云南人的口味。谈到酱料，Ingkarat说她1991年在曼谷开了三家泰国餐厅，名为Oldies。有一天，一位中国客人询问她餐厅的食物是用什么酱料烹饪的，Ingkarat才意识到26年来，不断有客人问餐厅里特色菜的制作方法，于是她决定制作一系列泰国酱料，这样客人在家就可以做出同样味道的泰式料理。

Ingkarat’s highlight sauce is Tom-Yum paste - a dark red sauce made by West Indian Lemongrass, fish sauce, shrimp paste, lime skin, etc. which delivers sour and spicy flavors that suit well the taste buds of Yunnan natives. Ingkarat told usthat she opened three Thai restaurants “Oldies” in Bangkok in 1991. It was not until a Chinese customer asked her what sauce her specialty dish is made with,that she realized her customers had been querying the know-how of her specialtydish over the past 26 years. She then decided to produce a series of Thai sauces so that her customers could make authentic Thai food at home.

去年她来参加昆明泰国节和南博会，销量超乎意料地好。Ingkarat解释这大概是因为云南与泰国地域上邻近，食物的口味也较为相似，所以她的酱料才如此受欢迎。目前，Oldies酱料已定期供应到昆明的一家泰国餐厅以及一家专门卖泰国食品的门店。

Ingkarat’s sauce sold unexpectedly well in last year’s Kunming Thailand Festival and China-ASEAN Expo. “This is probably because people inYunnan have a similar food preferences with Thai people because of itsproximity to Thailand”, Ingkarat explained. Ingkarat is now aregular sauce provider of a Thai restaurant and a supermarket in Kunming.

泰国华裔曾通城今年71岁，2009年起就来云南参加商品贸易展销，做草药黄油20多年，可谓是展销会的“元老”。

71-year-old Chinese born Thai Zeng Tongcheng started exhibiting his goods in Yunnan since 2009. He has been running business of traditional yellow herbal oil for over 20 years.

曾通城告诉我们，他年轻时做珠宝生意，后来在40多岁的时候，去寺庙拜佛的时候受师傅启发，开始学做草药黄油，2009年得到机会到中国参展。8年来，曾通城几乎每个月都要来中国参加展销会，光是在云南举办的展会，他每年就要来3至4次，地点不光是昆明，还有西双版纳等。

Zeng Tongcheng told us that he used to sell jewelries when he was young. In his 40s, he was inspired by a master in a Thai temple and started to learn the making of traditional herbal yellow oil. Ever since he got his first opportunity to exhibit his herbal oil in China in 2009, Zeng Tongcheng has been traveling monthly between the two countries for exhibitions in the past 8 years. He exhibits in Yunnan for 3 to 4 times a year,not only in Kunming but also in Xishuangbanna.

曾通城的侄子郑朝荣透露，他们也会去福建、广西省参加国际展销会，但云南是整个中国市场里销量最好的省份，每次去西双版纳都会碰到很多回头客购买草药黄油，这些顾客最看重的就是黄油的配方以及用料。

Zeng Tongcheng’s nephew Zheng Zhaorong told us while they exhibit in Fujian and Guangxi provinces, their merchandize sells the best in Yunnan’s market. Everytime they went to Xishuangbanna, they would meet some old returning customerswho had bought the herbal oil from them before. What drives these customerscome back again is the recipe and ingredients of yellow herbal oil.

记者了解到，商洽会期间，泰国将举行“2017年第二届泰国顶尖品牌展”。泰王国驻昆明总领事馆商务处领事娜姹暾在此前举办的新闻发布会上介绍，品牌展携手170家泰国企业，包括食品类、保健美容产品类、衣物饰品类、家居饰品类、服务类等共224个展位，将积极促进中泰商业、贸易、投资、旅游等领域的相互沟通、合作。

We were told that The Office of Commercial Affairs of Thailand in Kunming, which is under the Ministry of Commerce of Thailand will organize the event “2017 Top Thai Brand” in 2017 SSACEIF. In the press conference of the event, Royal Thai Consul Natchathorn Manopanjasiri introduced that 170 Thai companies with 224 booths from industries of food, health and beauty, clothing accessories,home accessories and so on will participate in the fair, which will effectively promote bilateral business, tourism and investment collaborations.
