Chengdu Special: China-EU summit provides service outsourcing showcase for city

Chengdu, designated back in 2006 as one of the first tranche of service outsourcing centers in China, is appropriately enough the backdrop for this year's China-EU Cooperation and Development Conference on the Outsourcing Service Industry.

Due to open on Oct 16 in the city, the capital of the southwestern Sichuan province, the event will form part of the 10th Western China International Economy and Trade Fair.

Taking place in Tuileries Palace, part of the city's Sofitel Wanda Hotel, the conference will highlight the unrivalled resources and distinct advantages that Chengdu can offer to the recreational software outsourcing industry.
