Beijing, China's national capital,will host an international forum on the development of its central business district (CBD) from September 12-13.
It will be part of the third international business fair sponsored by Chaoyang District in the eastern part of the city, which has made concerted efforts to develop its own CBD, dubbed the "Beijing Central Business District", since 1990.
Thirty foreign delegations from 12 countries and regions and domestic delegations from over 20 cities will attend the meeting.
Contracts worth 92 billion yuan (11 billion US dollars) were signed at the previous two fairs, according to official sources.
The fair is co-sponsored by the Chinese Society of Mayors, the municipal commission of foreign trade and economic cooperation, the municipal foreign affairs office, and the district government of Chaoyang.
