Visit to Beijing and suzhou in May 2012 - Hosted by China Development Bank

China Development Bank (CDB) is inviting Finnish companies for a visit to Beijing and Suzhou in May 14.-18, 2012 to explore cooperation opportunities.

During the visit Business Delegates will have an opportunity to attend various Networking Events, Workshops and B2B meetings with local companies, organizations and authorities, which China Development Bank will organize in Beijing and Suzhou.

China is one of the most important and challenging countries of FDI.
