2016 Seminar on Fiscal and Economic Administration for Developing Countries Held at JUFE

On May 19th, the opening ceremony of the 2016 Seminar on Fiscal and Economic Administration for Developing Countries was held at the auditorium of JUFE. Over 30 government officials from 11 countries flew a long way to participate in this event. The seminar lasted for 21 days from May 19 to June 9. The theme of the Seminar was promoting academic exchange and cooperation among officials from developing countries on the topics of fiscal and economic administration. Li Wenyao, the deputy head of the Ministry of Commerce of China, Wang Xiaoping, vice president of JUFE gave a speech in the ceremony.

Wang extended his warm welcome to all participants on behalf of the University. He expressed his appreciation for the event organisers . Wang gave a detailed overview of the international education programs at JUFE and assured that the training tasks assigned by the Ministry of Commerce will be fully accomplished with a strong sense of responsibility. JUFE selects top teachers and opens tailor-made courses in line with the theme of the seminar, meeting the expectations from the Ministry of Commerce.

Li stressed that top authorities attach great importance to friendship between developing and developed countries. By this chance, he hoped that compatibility of bilateral economies strengthened and the prospect of cooperation expanded. At the end of his speech, he invited all delegates to invest and start a business in Jiangxi province.

During 21 days, the seminar will address the topics of macro-economy, fiscal policies, currency policies, fiscal relationship between governments, overseas investments of Chinese enterprises, risk management as well as China’s development of industry and economy. Furthermore, it will explore the possibilities of success of Chinese enterprise in developing countries.

Since 2008, the School of International Trade and Economics has held nine consecutive training programs under the patronage of the Ministry of Commerce, including the Seminar on Financial Opening and Risk Management, the Seminar on Fiscal Administration and Economic Development and the Seminar for High School Teachers from African English-speaking Countries. The work has been appreciated by both the Ministry of Commerce and the attending government officials alike — with more than 230 foreign government officials of all levels.

While the seminars promote friendship, these events additionally enhance the influence of JUFE, and provide a solid communication platform for Chinese export-oriented industries based in JiangXi Province. Meanwhile, the seminars enable the participants to become familiar with the achievements and experiences of China’s open policy and reform and to experience Chinese culture.
