The Center for International Knowledge on Development (CIKD) hosted a discussion about the development of private enterprises in China on Oct 22.

Ma Jiantang, Secretary of the Leading Party Members' Group of the Development Research Center of the State Council (DRC), attended the opening ceremony and delivered a keynote speech.

In order to promote international cooperation and exchanges in the field of development, and under Ma's guidance, CIKD hosts an exchange and dialogue event, regularly inviting Chinese business people and experts to communicate with embassies and consulates in China and multilateral and bilateral agencies in China on topical issues of concern to the international community.

CIKD hopes to eliminate misunderstandings and misjudgments of China by the international community through informal, closed-door dialogue based on facts and evidence, and build a bridge of trust for development cooperation.

The first discussion with the theme of "Development of Chinese Private Enterprises" was organized by CIKD and Yabuli China Entrepreneurs' Forum. The session aimed to eliminate international misunderstandings about China's development achievements through the stories of the country's private enterprises.
