The seventh China International Fair
for Investment and Trade (CIFIT) will be held on September 8
this year at Xiamen city in the southeastern province of
Fujian.
Provincial governments throughout
China and relevant state ministries and commissions will
attend the fair to promote their investment projects and
products, according to officials from the department of
foreign trade and economic cooperation.
The
fair will focus on such themes as new investment fields in
China since it joined the World Trade Organization (WTO),
major state projects and the hot topics for international
capital investment.
Fifteen forums and
relevant seminars on international investment and Chinese
industries are on the fair's agenda.
Organizers said the fair is expected to
attract more foreign investors after China's accession to
the WTO, while more Chinese enterprises will be encouraged
to invest overseas.
Last year's fair produced
impressive results both in foreign direct investment and in
trade. Some 1,814 project contracts in high-tech, real
estate, tourism and other sectors were signed witha total
contractual value of 13.65 billion US dollars, of which
11.235 billion US dollars came from overseas.
