China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT), also dubbed the "Window of China, Platform for the World", will provide visitors with a pleasant experience when its 11th session gets underway this September. Guests can expect more efficient operational mechanism, higher level of participation, more flexibility, increased investment projects and bigger achievements. "The 11th CIFIT will be staged in the context of an increasingly globalized world economy, as international capital flows across national boundaries, industries are restructured and relocated at a growing speed, China deepens its openness and efforts to build the Economic Zone on the Western Bank of the Taiwan Straits advance at full throttle," said Ye Shuangyu, vice governor of Fujian Province. One feature that distinguishes CIFIT this year from previous sessions is the international character of the event, which will be duly highlighted. The second China-Caribbean Economic and Trade Cooperation Forum, a large-scale, high-level forum in terms of economic and trade activities between the two sides, will be held concurrently with the fair. This forum includes activities such as the second China-Caribbean Ministerial Meeting and a seminar on bilateral cooperation in agriculture, fishery and tourism. A second meeting titled "International Investment Forum" is also going to be held, focusing on promoting international investment and building a harmonious world. Workshops to facilitate discussion on the consolidation of corporate income taxes, service outsourcing and regional economic co-development are on the agenda as well. "More emphasis will be placed on cross-Straits cooperation," he said. The National Tourism Administration and Fujian provincial government will co-organize the third Cross-Straits Tourism Exposition and the Fujian provincial government will organize the second forum related to the Economic Zone on the Western Bank of the Taiwan Straits, Ye noted of this year's CIFIT, adding that invitations will be extended to Taiwanese business and industrial organizations, as well as investors, so that cross-Straits economic cooperation and exchanges can be enhanced. To promote two-way investment and China's outbound investment, a matchmaking symposium for service outsourcing projects will be held during CIFIT, with the aim of enhancing the capability of China's service industries to penetrate the world service outsourcing market. Such matchmaking symposiums will include those concerning transportation projects and listed companies' investment projects, as well as those targeting specific countries like China, Singapore and India. To quote Ye: "We mean to satisfy every party involved, the participants, sponsors and the press." |
