China and Europe are strengthening ties, as the Macro Euro-China Entrepreneurs Club recently signed an agreement with the government of Heilongjiang of China’s northeastern province to help 100 European firms. These firms will attend the China Harbin International Economic and Trade Fair (HTF) next year.
The fair will take place from June 18-20, 2012 and will include 100 firms from 15 European countries. Commerce official Chu Zhihui of Heilongjiang said that the member firms of the club have expressed their interest in many areas include food processing and car production.
The Macro Euro-China Entrepreneurs Club which is based in Paris is a non-profit organization that serves as a match maker between European firms and investment opportunities in Asia.
This year’s upcoming fair is jointly organized by the Ministry of Commerce, the National Development and Reform Commission and the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade and the local government. It’s been taking place in Heilongjiang for the last 22 years and had $17.82 billion worth of overseas-related contracts just last year.
