Over 900 entrepreneurs exchanged their views on China’s key industries, the economic characteristics of Latin American countries, the regional development strategy of China, and trade cooperation between China and Latin America.
These entrepreneurs shared their successful experiences, discussed trade and investment opportunities between China and Latin America, and got to know the policies and regulations of the countries.
