Vice premier meets international organization guests at trade fair

Chinese Vice Premier Wu Yi met with guests from international organizations in Xiamen on Thursday, reiterating that China will continue to open up to the outside world and attract foreign investment.

Wu made the remarks when meeting with Pascal Lamy, director-general of the World Trade Organization; Supachai Panitchpakdi, secretary-general of the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development; and Kandeh Yumkella, director-general of United Nations Industrial Development Organization. They are attending the Tenth China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT).

She stressed the Chinese government will "as always stick to the basic policy of opening-up to the outside."

Wu said the Chinese government will establish a more open market system, continue to develop service industries, further improve relevant laws and regulations, strengthen intellectual property rights protection and create better investment conditions.

Wu also expressed China's willingness to promote the resumption of the stalled Doha round of negotiations with other World Trade Organization members, and finally achieve the goals set.

Edmund Ho Hau Wah, chief executive of China's Macao Special Administrative Region, also attended the meeting.
