The first China-CEEC (Central and Eastern European countries) Investment and Trade Expo will kick off in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, on June 8-12.

The major Expo will involve a series of economic and trade activities, but also focus on cooperation between Ningbo and the CEEC in the fields of tourism and education, the Southeast Business News reported May 23.

The Expo will hold some tourism cooperation and exchange events in early June, including a symposium on tourism market investment, a tourism photo exhibition and a trip to explore tourism resources in Zhejiang.

Furthermore, the organizers will also promote educational exchange activities during the expo. Ningbo is keen to attract more students from the CEEC to study in the city and to enhance academic and cultural exchanges.

Four local universities including Ningbo University and two primary and secondary schools will sign agreements with schools in CEEC on more than 10 educational cooperation and exchange projects.
