China's premier investment fair opened on Wednesday, with the country's top legislator Wu Bangguo raising a symbolic "golden key" to open the exhibition hall in Xiamen, East China's Fujian province.

The annual China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT), sponsored by the Ministry of Commerce, has become one of China's most influential platforms for the promotion of trade and investment.

It includes investment and trade exhibitions, investment project matchmaking symposiums, and seminars and forums.

The five-day event has drawn 630 overseas delegations from more than 100 countries and regions as well as hundreds of senior foreign government officials, heads of international organizations and overseas business associations, and senior managers from multinational companies.
