Following the post-COVID reopening rebound in 2023, 2024 is an important year for China on further economic recovery under the complex economic environment, and it also provides challenges and opportunities for companies to explore business in China.
This year’s ‘Two Sessions (Lianghui)’ of the National People’s Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and the China Development Forum (CDF) will guide China’s economic growth and provide new engines for business growth.
Following the EU-China Summit in last December, 2024 coincides with the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France. Building a stable and healthy bilateral EU-China relationship is strategically significant for the economy.
The European Chamber is delighted to invite you to join us on 27th March to outlook the China economic growth, explore the opportunities under the uncertain EU-China relations, discuss how will the 'Two Sessions' convey confidence in 2024 economy, and talk with economists and experts on new business opportunities in China.
*This is a hybrid event with limited onsite seating to be reserved on a first-come-first served basis.
