AmCham South China Delegation Returns for More Success at its Fourteenth CIFIT

At this three-day event, AmCham South China's CIFIT delegation will meet with government leaders from Hebei, Fujian, Jiangxi Province and the 2020 Winter Olympic Committee, aiming to explore business opportunities and potential for cooperation. The Delegation will also host the US-China Enterprises Cooperation Forum on the 9^th, this year featuring Healthcare Investment & Innovation.

"CIFIT represents one of the largest and best platforms for investment and trade in the world, which has become a window of cross-investment to the world. Our Chamber and the members have been here for the past thirteen years and we owe the success of our delegation each and every year to the excellent organization and the high quality of arrangement and service provided by the CIFIT Organizing Committee. I want to offer my congratulations to the MOFCOM, Fujian and Xiamen leaders and the CIFIT organizing Committee for undertaking and delivering this highest level or professional excellence which brings us to the beautiful city of Xiamen every year," said President Harley.

President Harley also announced at the press conference that the Chamber has won the right to host the 2017 Asia Pacific Council of American Chambers of Commerce (APCAC) Asia Pacific Business Summit which will be held in Guangzhou from April 19 to 22 in the coming year through fierce competition between the 29 Asia Pacific American Chambers of Commerce. Since this summit is hosted by a different AmCham each year, it represents a unique opportunity for Southern China, especially Guangdong, Fujian, Hainan Provinces and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, and Hong Kong and Macau SAR which will be able to showcase their latest developments.

"APCAC is an 'Economic Power House', as it represents 29 American Chambers of Commerce from 22 economies in Asia Pacific, 15,000 member companies, 50,000 overseas American executives, 10 million employees, 400 billion U.S. dollars in annual FDI management and 500 billion U.S. dollars in annual trade," Harley said, "We firmly believe that the APCAC delegation which will meet with Southern China provincial and city leaders as well as visit many cities and districts and pursue investment opportunities will result in increase in cross-investment between the 22 economies that are covered by members of APCAC by tens of billions of U.S. dollars every year."
