In Xiamen, we will attend the China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT, )sponsored by the MOFCOM and cosponsored by the international organizations like UNCTAD, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), etc. to study their local industrial development and participate in relevant international forums and the matchmaking symposiums for outbound investment by Chinese enterprises, etc. Themed on "Bringing In" and "Going Global", CIFIT features a focus upon its local and international characteristics, upon investment negotiation and investment policy promotion, upon coordinated development of national and regional economy, and upon economic and trade exchanges across the Taiwan Strait. CIFIT is currently China's only international investment promotion event aimed at facilitating bilateral investment.
