On June 1, 2020, Chinese authorities released the Overall Plan for the Construction of Hainan Free Trade Port (“the Masterplan”), a large-scale plan to transform the entire island province into a free trade port (FTP) – making it the largest special economic zone in China.
Hainan Province, an island at the southernmost point of China is best known for its sandy beaches and resort-lined coast. Due to its proximity with ASEAN nations, the Hainan FTP acts as a frontline to China’s integration with Southeast Asian countries. This has created new opportunities along China’s Belt and Road Initiative; Hainan will be an important node on what is referred to as the “Maritime Silk Road”.
In order for you and your company to explore the opportunities in this new Free Trade Port and the first edition of 2021 China International Consumer Products Expo, the Belgian-Chinese Chamber of Commerce (BCECC) is pleased to invite you to take part in the online Information session on September 2, 2020 at 10h30 CET (16h30 CST).
