A conference on trade and investment cooperation between southwestern China’s Sichuan province and Bulgaria took place in Sofia on Tuesday. The goal is to strengthen economic ties between the two regions.
Organized by the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) Sichuan Council and the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI), the one-day event brought together eight Chinese companies and over 30 potential Bulgarian partners.
Huang Li, president of the CCPIT Sichuan Council and president of the Sichuan International Chamber of Commerce, emphasized the support provided by CCPIT Sichuan Council to help local enterprises expand abroad, establish connections with foreign businesses, and facilitate economic cooperation.
Recognizing the promising economic prospects, BCCI President Tsvetan Simeonov expressed confidence that the participating companies “have every chance to find their partners” during the event.
Simeonov also mentioned his belief that businesses would be motivated not only to engage in commercial exchanges with the Chinese province but also to consider making investments in the region.
Fan Chenyao, deputy general manager of F&W Machine Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a Chinese company at the conference, shared the company’s interest in establishing a representative office in Eastern Europe to handle product sales and storage, aiming to better serve its customers.
During the event, a memorandum of understanding was signed between CCPIT Sichuan Council and BCCI, along with a contract between a Chinese and Bulgarian company.
