Call for stronger trade ties

Move would ease threat from US and European debt anxieties

Countries should strengthen trade ties to help ease the threat of the debt crises in Europe and the United States, and the Xiamen investment fair provides a sound platform for such cooperation, those attending said.

The 15th China International Fair for Investment and Trade (CIFIT) opened on Wednesday, attracting officials, company executives and investors from around the world - including some areas hard-hit by European and US debt problems.
