An international bioindustry exposition underway in this provincial town has attracted more than 700,000 visitors in the first 13 days of opening, organizers said Friday, raising hopes the little-heralded city could emerge as a leading hub of biotechnology.
The Osong International Bio Industry Exposition kicked off on Sept. 26 for a 17-day run. The brainchild of the local government and the trade ministry, the event hopes to garner at least 800,000 visitors by Sunday's closing.
