Invitation Letter - French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in ...

Invitation Letter
Dear Sir / Madame:
As Chinese President Hu Jintao pointed out on April 15, 2011, China will strive to implement the
“go-global” strategy in the coming five years, guiding enterprises of various types of ownership
to engage in orderly overseas investment and actively undertake cooperative projects that are
conducive to improving local infrastructure and people’s lives. Vice-Premier Li Keqiang, during
his visit to Hong Kong in August, further emphasized that mainland enterprises and Hong Kong
businesses should speed up their paces of going global together, and jointly enter bids for and
undertake foreign projects.
It was in tune with this megatrend that the first China Overseas Investment Summit, hosted by
the Hong Kong China Chamber of Commerce and supported by various aspects of the Chinese
and overseas societies, was successfully convened on November 15-16, 2011 in Hong Kong. The
summit became unprecedented in its high standards, extensive participation and widespread
influence. Political and economic dignitaries, ambassadors and other diplomats, senior
corporate executives, scholars and experts from a number of countries including China attended
the event, leaving behind their high appreciations.
Hong Kong is one of the world’s most open, most dynamic and most competitive regional
economies. To date, about 65 percent of the Chinese mainland’s total outbound investments
have been conducted in Hong Kong or via Hong Kong in other economies. The financial circle of
Hong Kong plays a significant role in China’s overseas investment.
At present, preparations for the second China Overseas Investment Summit are going on
smoothly and effectively. We sincerely invite your organization to become an independent
sponsor or a joint sponsor for the summit this year. While helping fund this year’s event, your
organization will be able to showcase your business to representatives from governments and
supervisory agencies of China and other economies, business leaders, executives of China’s top

500 enterprises, bankers, institutional investors, delegates of intermediary agencies and
professional service providers, as well as multiple Chinese and overseas business and financial
media; you will also be able to build extensive contacts and establish friendships at such a
deeply respected, widely recognized and high-standard international conference.
We sincerely invite you to join us in the China Overseas Investment Summit 2012 and looking
forward to your reply!
Yours sincerely,
Chan King-wai,
Executive Chairman of the China Overseas Investment Summit Organizing Committee
Chairman of Hong Kong China Chamber of Commerce

I. Foreword
2012 China Overseas Investment Summit (COIS 2012)
The China Overseas Investment Summit (COIS) is launched in line with China’s strategy of
bringing together, financial, businesses and media sectors as a platform for the Chinese and
foreign enterprises to exchange information and embark on collaboration. It is also a forum for
discussions on ways of Chinese enterprises going global in an orderly and regulated manner,
hence catalyzing mutually beneficial cooperation in fields of energy, resources, advanced
technology and manufacturing for a steady inward and outward investment growth. Through
policy dialogue, knowledge exchange and ongoing discussion, the COIS provides a unique forum
for new approaches, new ideas and new strategies relating to Chinese overseas investment,
which increasingly emphasizes sustainable development, both domestically and internationally.
