The 23rd China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT) will take place in Xiamen, Fujian Province in southeast China, from September 8 to 11. Since the first CIFIT was launched in the city in 1997, the event has become one of the most influential international investment events in the world.
Around 1, 000 business groups and some 80,000 businesspeople from nearly 100 countries and regions are expected to participate in the upcoming CIFIT, on site and online. There will be three guests of honor: Brazil, Serbia and Qatar, marking the highest number of such countries in a single edition.
The CIFIT is dedicated to creating platforms for promoting international investment, providing authoritative information and discussing investment trends, said Assistant Minister of Commerce Chen Chunjiang at the press conference on August 22.
