In the bustling city of Xiamen, located in east China’s Fujian Province, anticipation filled the air as the annual China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT) commenced. The 2024 edition of the fair, themed “Linking the World through Investment,” kicked off on September 8, heralding a new era of global collaboration and shared prosperity.
CIFIT has long been recognized as a “barometer” and “compass” of China’s outward and inward investment flows. This year, the event continues to strengthen its role as a global hub for two-way investment, attracting government bodies, industry groups, and leading multinational companies from over 90 countries and international organizations. Participants are eager to explore the evolving investment landscape and foster cooperation in critical sectors such as digital transformation, green industries, and emerging technologies.
A highlight of the fair is a special exhibition area commemorating the 40th anniversary of the national economic and technological development zones. This exhibition showcases China’s strategies driving both inbound and outbound investment, highlighting the nation’s efforts to attract foreign investment and its substantial achievements in outbound investments. Attendees gain valuable insights into China’s evolving trade policies, best practices in global development, and contributions to international economic cooperation.
By focusing on multilateral and bilateral trade partnerships, CIFIT fosters an environment of openness and shared investment opportunities. The fair offers an unparalleled stage for global engagement, positioning itself as a pivotal event for investors and businesses seeking to capitalize on China’s growing economic influence in the world.
