Dr. Harley Seyedin was invited to deliver his view of AmCham’s
over 2,300 members. He pointed out that for the past 18 years,
AmCham South China’s delegation has been the largest business
delegation to CIFIT and has averaged USD 2 billion in deals
culminated at CIFIT. CIFIT is the epitome of China’s high-quality
opening up efforts and a reflection of Xiamen’s determination
to create a world-class business environment of rule of law,
internationalization and facilitation. Dr. Harley said, “I have every
reason to believe that this year’s delegation will be no different
however difficult and challenging due to the pandemic. We would
never miss an opportunity to attend CIFIT. And we appreciate
being a part of it this year.”
