A Grand Showcase in Hong Kong and Macao

On July 17 and 18, vibrant promotional events for the 25th China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT) took place in Hong Kong and Macao, attracting over 400 influential representatives from government agencies, chambers of commerce, financial institutions, and the private sector.

Strengthening Global Connections

Through strategic engagement with key stakeholders in Hong Kong and Macao, CIFIT is not just keeping pace but actively driving international economic integration. The initiative aims to bolster outbound investments from mainland China while providing essential support for foreign investors eager to tap into the booming Chinese market. Hong Kong and Macao are positioned as crucial hubs in these global investment corridors.

Financial Integration at Its Best

As a pivotal player in CIFIT, Hong Kong continues to demonstrate its status as one of the world's most open economies, serving as a global financial services epicenter alongside being a beacon for trade and innovation. Meanwhile, Macao is leveraging its unique strengths in cultural tourism and financial innovation, while the Hengqin Guangdong–Macao In-Depth Cooperation Zone fosters connections with Lusophone markets in line with CIFIT initiatives.

A Noteworthy Future: CIFIT 2025

Mark your calendars! The 25th CIFIT will unfold in Xiamen from September 8 to 11, 2025. The United Kingdom will take center stage as the Guest Country of Honor, complemented by Jiangsu Province's recognition as the Guest Province of Honor. This year's theme, "Expanding Two-Way Investment, Advancing Global Development," will spotlight three key areas: Investing in China, Outbound Chinese Investment, and International Investment, ensuring a robust dialogue on global engagement.

Empowering Business Connections

Participants have identified the fair as a vital platform for bridging connections between businesses in Hong Kong, Macao, and their mainland counterparts. This will not only stimulate outbound commercial activities but also enhance inbound foreign investment. By integrating the international networks and service capabilities of Hong Kong and Macao, the fair amplifies its potential to align global resources with strategic developmental objectives.

An Invitation to the World

As Xiamen gears up to host the 25th CIFIT, it warmly invites international stakeholders to join as long-term partners, setting the stage for unprecedented collaboration and global business opportunities.
