 ◆ Fair Featuring Scientific Achievements Across Taiwan Straits Opens in Fuzhou

The 2002 China Fuzhou International Investment Promotion Month and the Fourth Fair of Scientific and Technological Achievements across Taiwan Straits opened on May 18 in Fuzhou, capital of east China's Fujian Province.

Approximately 10,000 people, including business people from 40 foreign countries and officials from the embassies and consulates of nine countries attended the opening ceremony.

At least 70 activities, including the fourth Chinese mayors' forum, the second Thailand-made commodity fair, and a golf invitational tournament will be held, according to local sources.

Moreover, these sources said Fuzhou City has prepared a list of 323 projects which will require 1.74 billion U.S. dollars of investment from overseas.

Fuzhou, which faces Taiwan across the Taiwan Straits, had approved over 6,700 overseas financed businesses by late 2001, of which, 3,212 have gone into production or have started business. It has so far had an inflow of 8.8 billion U.S. dollars in overseas investment.
