As guest country of honor at the ongoing China International Fair For Investment and Trade, which kicked off in Xiamen, Fujian province, on Monday, Georgia is taking the spotlight.

During this year's event, Georgia has an exhibition pavilion of 800 square meters, with dozens of established companies from the country showcasing their products, trade potential and investment opportunities in wine, food and fashion design.

The Georgian pavilion inauguration ceremony was held on the opening day.

A Sino-Georgian business forum took place on Monday, themed on the potential cooperation between the two countries under the umbrella of the Belt and Road Initiative.

This year marks the 25th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Georgia.

Delegates from Georgia delivered keynote speeches on the country's achievements and bright future, including senior officials in agriculture, the economy and sustainable development, infrastructure and railway construction. Sitting at the junction of Asia and Europe, Georgia has enjoyed a strategic location along the Silk Road route since ancient times.

The speakers also shared their experiences in Belt and Road Initiative-related infrastructure projects with forum participants.

A growing number of Chinese are becoming interested in exploring opportunities in Georgia.

Among them is CEFC China Energy, which has gained a firm foothold in the country.
