The Mayoress of Valencia, Rita Barberá, inaugurated on Monday 7, the Global China Business Meeting, an international event organized by the City Council of Valencia, the Swiss international organization “Horasis”, the China Federation of Industrial Economics and the support of Global Asia.
In this 7th edition of the Global China Business Meeting, in which also participated the President of the Generalitat, Alberto Fabra; the Minister of Industry, Miguel Sebastián; the Ambassadors of China in Spain, and of Spain in China, the Mayoress stressed how important it is for Valencia the fact of being chosen to be the venue of this notorious event, which brought together CEOs of the most important firms of China and Asia, among them 475 executives and high- ranking officials of the Popular Republic of China-and many European and American chief executives officers as well – with a significant number of Spanish representatives- and members of the Public Administration.
The Mayoress recalled in her speech that China is the country that channels the largest number of goods through the port of Valencia nowadays and the City Council of Valencia wishes to promote, support and stimulate the work of the civil society and the Valencian business network in its approach to economies as unstoppable as the Chinese.
Equally, the Mayoress highlighted the possibilities that a city like Valencia can offer to executives and businessmen from all the countries that took part in the Global China Business Meeting, for its strategic position in the south of Europe, for betting on innovation, for being potentially enterprising, and its favourable conditions for investment and for setting their entrepreneurial projects in motion in Valencia.
