Preparations for the 4th China Investment and Trade Fair, to be held in this south China city in early September, are going smoothly, an official of the organizing committee of the fair said Tuesday in Xiamen.

So far, more than 130 overseas business groups, government departments or transnational corporations have expressed willingness to attend the fair, the official said.
