The Second China-ASEAN Business and Investment Summit is scheduled to be held from Oct. 18 to 19 in Nanning, capital of the southwest China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, said a sponsor of the summit Tuesday.

About 900 officials, experts and representatives from China and ASEAN nations will be invited to attend the summit, a scale surpassing the previous summit, which drew attendance of 800 people.

The upcoming summit will play a more important role in serving as a platform for closer economic cooperation and more frequent exchanges between China and ASEAN nations, the sponsor said.

The summit will hold a series of economic and trade forums for participants to introduce their economic policies and projects and woo funds and partners, the sponsor said.
