The 25th China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT) held a promotion event in Hong Kong on the 17th. The 25th Investment and Trade Fair will be held in Xiamen from September 8th to 11th, 2025. This year's Investment Fair will focus on "expanding two-way investment and promoting global development together", focusing on the three major sectors of "investing in China", "Chinese investment", and "international investment", exploring the continuous improvement of internationalization, specialization, and branding levels, and leveraging the role of a high-level open platform. Huang Yan, Director of Commodity Trade and Innovation and Director of External Affairs at the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, stated that in recent years, Hong Kong has had close economic and trade exchanges with Xiamen. There is a Hong Kong Pavilion at the Investment and Trade Fair to introduce Hong Kong's superior business environment and high-quality commercial services. Liu Zhiyuan, Assistant Director General of the Investment Promotion Agency of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, stated that participating in the Investment Fair not only allows more domestic and foreign business organizations and enterprises to understand Hong Kong's business environment and advantages, but also promotes economic and trade cooperation and exchanges between Fujian and Hong Kong. The relevant activities provide important and practical opportunities for participants to engage in cross-border investment and knowledge exchange, enabling them to understand new trends and opportunities in investment at home and abroad, and grasp new directions in international investment. Zhou Qiang, Deputy Minister of the Economic Department and Head of the Trade Department of the Liaison Office of the Central Government in Hong Kong, stated that Hong Kong's enthusiasm for investment in mainland China is increasing, with new energy, new materials, biomedicine, artificial intelligence, digital economy and other fields becoming investment priorities and popular tracks. In the future, Hong Kong will better play the role of a "super contact" and "super value-added person" connecting the mainland and overseas markets. While serving the country's high-level opening-up to the outside world, it will also create more value and opportunities for global enterprises and investors. (New Society)
