Pavel Veleslavina, a jewelry businessman from Czech, told China Daily that he wanted to make full use of the fair as a platform to allow more Chinese partners to know his business.  

“In the situation of financial crisis hit around the world, China is strong in both economic development and investment cooperation. We have good investment climate with cheaper labor force and high-tech technicians in Czech and we hope Chinese partners to invest in our country,” Pavel said.  

Also, more than 500 delegations from the United States, France, Italy, Japan, Australia, Romania, South Korea, Thailand, Austria, as well as those from China’s Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are attending the fair.

Six exhibition halls with 2,600 display booths were set for displaying the projects of joint venture with foreign investment, tourism, culture, science and technology research results, patented technology, equipment manufacturing, energy-saving and environmental protection industry.  

“We did have some pressure to organize this year’s fair in the current financial crisis, but our effort made a good opening with so many people from both home and abroad, and we hope it is a good opportunity to help overcome the difficulties in current world financial crisis,” said Yao Chaoying, the fair’s executive committee.

Co-sponsored by seven State committees and ministries including National Development and Reform Commission and Ministry of Commerce and 28 provincial governments, autonomous regions and municipalities, the annual fair has become a grand trade and economic promotion since 1997 when it was launched in Xi’an.
