Invitation

Dear Sir or Madam:

The Organizing Committee of the China International Fair for Investment and Trade cordially requests the pleasure of your presence at the 12th CIFIT, scheduled for September 8-11, 2007 in Xiamen, China.

CIFIT is approved by the State Council of the People’s Republic of China and held annually on September 8-11 in Xiamen, China. With a track record of 11 successful sessions, CIFIT is currently one of the world’s largest events for international investment promotion and the only event in the investment category approved by UFI (the Global Association of the Exhibition Industry), attracting more than 10,000 overseas visitors from over 100 countries and regions annually.

CIFIT is sponsored by the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC, co-sponsored by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), the Organization for Economic Cooperation & Development (OECD), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the World Association of Investment Promotion Agencies (WAIPA), and the China Council for International Investment Promotion (CCIIP). CIFIT’s 52 member institutions, including the governments of the 31 provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government and some cities with independent economic planning, related national authorities and some national business councils and trade associations in mainland China, as well as the governments of Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions, are involved in the organizing work of CIFIT and send delegations to attend the Fair. CIFIT showcases the investment environment across China, presents investment polices, and promotes business and investment projects and enterprise products. With its steadily increasing international influence, CIFIT grabs the attention of a rising number of developed and developing countries and numerous international economic organizations, which actively participate in the conferences and exhibition at the Fair. CIFIT is not only a vital platform for China to attract foreign capital, a leading channel for Chinese enterprises to expand overseas, and an optimal platform for countries and regions around the world to showcase their investment environment and locate investment partners; more importantly, it’s a barometer of international capital flows and a platform to feel the pulse of global economic trends and share business opportunities across the world.

During the 12th CIFIT, the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC will continue to host the International Investment Forum. The Ministry of Commerce and related national authorities of China and many overseas economic organizations and institutions will present a series of forums and seminars on hot topics relating to international investment promotion. China’s state leaders, dignitaries from foreign governments, eminent economists, renowned experts and scholars, and executives from multinational companies will address such forums and seminars.

The 11th CIFIT in 2007 drew a total of 13,158 overseas visitors from 119 countries and regions, and 415 institutions and enterprises in 93 countries and regions sent delegations to the Fair. The 12th CIFIT will continue to provide services for global investment and trade cooperation through exhibitions and demonstrations, project promotion seminars, policy discussions and consultancy, and information release.

We cordially welcome government agencies, investors, traders, intermediary organizations, financial institutions and enterprises from across the world to attend CIFIT.

Thank you very much!
