Organizers outline discussion topics, main goals, achievements

The 2017 BRICS Business Forum aims to encourage a more open trade and investment environment through talks between governments and companies, said Jiang Zengwei, head of the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, which organized the event.

"Currently, the recovery of the global economy remains unstable and the process of economic globalization faces challenges," he said.

Investment and trade is one of the main topics to be discussed at the forum, which will be held from Sept 3 to 4 in Xiamen, Fujian province in East China, as one of the major events of the ninth BRICS Summit.
