An international conference on investment prospects and opportunities in China upon its WTO entry will be held in December this year, according to sources here.
The conference, sponsored by the China Investment Forum (CIF), will invite relevant government officials, domestic and international investors, experts and business magnates to participate in.
A CIF senior official believes that the conference, timed close to China's WTO entry, will be helpful to investors both at home and abroad in obtaining new business opportunities.
Substantial negotiations on China's WTO entry have so far been concluded and it is highly possible that China will realize its long-cherished goal within this year.
WTO Director-General-elect Supachai Panitchpakdi once said that China's entry will offer a big market to all WTO members and success in this market belongs to those who are well prepared.
The conference will actually provide a good opportunity for investors to make relative preparations, said the CIF official.
During the 2-day conference, government officials will expound on relevant policies, delegates from China's business and commercial circles will jointly discuss possible challenges, and international business people will gain abundant first-hand information on investment.
