China's direct outbound investment will exceed 60 billion U.S. dollars by 2010, said Assistant Minister of Commerce Chen Jian here on Monday.
Chen made the remarks at the press conference on the 11th China International Investment Forum scheduled to kick off in September in Xiamen, southeast China's Fujian Province.
He said nearly 100,000 overseas businessmen from 144 countries and regions have participated in the forum over the past decade and a total of 13,000 contracts have been inked.
