At the invitation of the Chinese authorities, the Director General of the OIV participated in the 6th International Alcoholic Beverage Exhibition held in Guiyang in the Chinese province of Guizhou, on 9-11 September 2016.
This exhibition brought together representatives for 2000 exhibitors (700 of which were foreign) and hosted over 10 000 visitors.
During a conference organised as part of the exhibition, Jean-Marie Aurand gave a panorama of the state of the global vitivinicultural sector, highlighting the major development trends and main issues for the future, as well as the role of the OIV in this context.
At this event, the OIV Director General also partook in several meetings with representatives for the Chinese authorities, namely the Vice-Governor of Guizhou Province and the Chinese Vice-Minister for Commerce, with whom he brought up the prospects for the accession of China to the OIV.
