MEET YOU AT
2023 CIFIT
IN XIAMEN
China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT) is hosted by the Ministry of
Commerce of the People's Republic of China, and co-hosted by the United Nations
Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the United Nations Industrial Development
Organization (UNIDO), the World Trade Organization (WTO), the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD), the International Finance Corporation (IFC) and the
World Association of Investment Promotion Agencies (WAIPA). The CIFIT is held in Xiamen,
Fujian Province during September 8-11 every year. State leaders and high-level officials of
China and overseas countries have all attended the previous sessions.
With the theme of "introducing FDI" and "going global", the CIFIT is the only national
comprehensive exhibition in China aimed at promoting two-way investment and also one of
the most influential international investment events in the world. The CIFIT not only serves as
a powerful foothold for China to attract and utilize foreign capital in more vigorous manner,
but also sets up an important stage for countries around the world to seek investment
opportunities. Since its establishment in 1997, CIFIT has been successfully held for 22 sessions,
attracting the participation of more than 300,000 overseas guests from over 200 countries and
regions, more than 1,000 industrial and business associations as well as over 450 Fortune 500
enterprises. Thus, CIFIT has generated more than 340 billion dollars of funds to China, with a
wide array of Chinese enterprises going global from CIFIT.
The Chinese government has attached great importance to CIFIT. As noted by President Xi
Jinping in his congratulatory letter to the 20th CIFIT in 2018: for the past two decades, the
CIFIT has been committed to building three platforms for two-way investment promotion,
authoritative information release and investment trend discussion. It has developed into one
of the most influential international investment events in the world, and has made positive
contributions to China's reform and opening up and socialist modernization. The CIFIT will play
a positive role in promoting the formation of a new pattern of all-round opening up and the
construction of an open world economy.
