Xinhua, April 5, 2016 Adjust font size:

Some 150 official delegates and entrepreneurs are expected to attend a business forum between China and the Community of Portuguese Language Nations (CPLP), scheduled to take place from April 9 to11 in Guinea Bissau capital, Bissau.

The coordinator of the meeting Bruno Jawad who addressed the press in Bissau Monday, said the forum will be held under the theme "Platform for Business in West Africa."

According to him, the objective of the meeting is to reunite Chinese businessmen with those from CPLP countries such as Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea Bissau, Mozambique, Portugal and Timor East to discuss issues related to economic and commercial cooperation.

While commenting on preparations for the forum, Chinese ambassador to Guinea Bissau Wang Hua affirmed that the "forum symbolizes reinforcement of cooperation between his country and the Portuguese speaking nations."

"I believe this forum will be decisive in the fight against poverty in some CPLP countries, particularly in Guinea Bissau," said the envoy. Enditem
