DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Global Sources expands 2009 Dubai shows 40% to include Greater China manufacturers of gifts, premiums, home products, electronics and fashion accessories

Global Sources (Nasdaq: GSOL) announced today that its four upcoming China Sourcing Fairs in Dubai have sold out, growing 40% this year to reach over 1,100 booths. The China Sourcing Fairs: Electronics, Fashion Accessories, Gifts & Premiums, and Home Products will feature manufacturers from Greater China (mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan). The events will be held June 14 - 16, 2009, at the Dubai International Convention & Exhibition Centre.

Global Sources’ Executive Director, Sarah Benecke, said: “Manufacturers from Greater China are actively looking for new markets and new customers in the Middle East, in part to counter the slowdown in the USA and Europe. Occupying six full exhibition halls, this will be our largest-ever Dubai shows and continues to be the largest exhibition of China products in the Middle East.”

The China Sourcing Fairs in Dubai serve importers and volume buyers in the Middle East, North Africa, India and Europe who seek high quality products from competitive Chinese suppliers. More than 7,100 buyers from 97 countries attended last year’s event.

Strong mainland China government support

This year’s event has attracted strong support from key manufacturing areas in mainland China, including the city of Jieyang in South China’s Guangdong province, and the city of Yiwu in Zhejiang province.

Deputy General Director of the Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation of Guangdong Province, Zhu Ze Nan said: “We think the China Sourcing Fairs in Dubai are the perfect platform from which to reach new buyers throughout the Middle East. In today’s economic environment, mainland China suppliers are actively looking to widen their customer base beyond North America and Europe.”

Located about two and a half hours from Shanghai, Yiwu is one of mainland China’s leading manufacturing centers for home products, gifts, fashion accessories, and other items. These suppliers have a long history of trading successfully with buyers throughout the Middle East, with a strong knowledge of regional customs and product appropriateness.

“Yiwu suppliers are looking more and more to the Middle East,” said Bill Janeri, Global Sources’ Middle East General Manager. “The region has maintained solid economic growth that has driven demand for mainland China-made consumer goods. Companies from Yiwu are anxious to expand and strengthen their ties with buyers in the Middle East.”

Senior mainland China-government officials who are scheduled to participate in the Dubai China Sourcing Fairs include:

– Mr. Zhu Ze Nan, Deputy General Director, Department of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation, Guangdong Province — Mr. Chen Yiwei, Mayor, Jieyang City People’s Government — Mr. Xu Qiyuan, Vice Chairman, Fuzhou People’s Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries — Ms. Pan Xiao, Deputy Director, Fuzhou Municipal Bureau of Foreign Trade & Economic Cooperation — Ms. Lin Xiangping, Vice Chairman, Fuzhou Chamber of Commerce for Import & Export — Mr. Huang Jiguang, Deputy Division Chief, Fuzhou Municipal Bureau of Foreign Trade & Economic Cooperation
