BEIJING (Reuters) - China's President Xi Jinping will attend the International Import Expo on Nov. 5 in Shanghai, the Ministry of Commerce said on Tuesday.

Xi will give the keynote speech for a second year at the expo, demonstrating China's support for the multilateral trade system, said Wang Bingnan, a vice commerce minister, speaking at a news conference in Beijing. China and the United States have been embroiled in a trade war for over a year.

Heads of state from France, Greece, Jamaica and Serbia have confirmed they will attend, Ren Hongbing, China's assistant commerce minister, said at the news conference.
