Members of the organizing committee of CIFIT visited the Institute of World Trade Organization in China in Beijing on June 11 to explore further cooperation.

Wang Qiongwen, one of members of the organizing committee and director of Xiamen Convention and Exhibition Bureau, introduced the measures adopted by the organizing committee in recent years to seek the transformation and upgrading of CIFIT. 

Wang also thanked the institute for its support of CIFIT and said he hopes it will continue serving as the event’s think tank.

Sui Zhenyu, president of the institute, was positive about the achievements CIFIT had made over the past few years and confirmed that it will actively take part in the organization and planning of 2018 CIFIT with the help of its international expert committee.

The Institute of WTO in China is dedicated to studying multilateral trading regimes, economic integration, and the economic and trade policies of various countries. It also encourages China’s integration into international economic systems and participation in international competition.

The 2018 CIFIT will be held in Xiamen, Fujian province, from Sept 8 to 11. Last year, CIFIT witnessed the signing of 1,577 investment projects worth 532.7 billion yuan ($81 billion) and attracted more than 100,000 domestic and foreign business representatives from 107 countries and regions, 4,000 domestic and foreign enterprises, nearly 700 business groups and 40 multinational corporations.
