According to an agreement signed by representatives of the two parties, Xinhua will file text, photo and other forms of stories on TIF and other major events of HELEXPO according to Xinhua's professional criterion while HELEXPO will facilitate Xinhua's work.

China is the honored country for TIF 2017, after it attended TIF in 1998 as the first honored country in the exhibition's history.
