Dear Members & Friends,
The Hong Kong Chamber of Commerce in China (HKCCC) sincerely extend to you an invitation to the
2011 China Outbound Investment Forum on 19 July 2011, at China World Summit Wing in Beijing.
This event, following the China SOE “Going Global” conference held by SASAC in April 2011, is a
response to the central government’s call to accelerate the implementation of the “going global”
strategy outlined in the 12th Five-Year Plan period and to assist Chinese enterprises with their
competitiveness in the international market.
During this one-day forum, you will be able to explore and identify solutions to the matters that
may impact both your current and future outbound business. You will also have a chance to
communicate with counterparts from China and foreign investee countries, Chinese government
officials, representatives from foreign embassies and various chambers of commerce in China, and
other professionals during the event through engaging presentations and thought-provoking panel
and breakout discussions. The forum will have the following features:
