Despite the drop in overseas investment worldwide, Fujian province in East China is maintaining stable growth momentum in attracting overseas investment.
Marine or "blue" economy will become a new growth engine for BRICS countries to narrow the gap with developed economies, especially in areas that demand cutting-edge technology, modern infrastructure and advanced machinery, business leaders said on Monday.
East China's Fujian province and its second-largest city Xiamen, which is currently hosting the ninth BRICS Summit, have witnessed increasing trade and personnel exchanges with other BRICS countries in recent years.
BRICS economies will count on enhanced connectivity to stimulate trade, investment and people-to-people exchange activities, as well as other new growth points to improve regional economic integration, business executives said on Monday.
Hometown volunteers at the BRICS Xiamen Summit said they feel honored to participate and hope that their international guests will fall in love with the coastal city through their services.
