TIRANA, Oct 20؁bout 70 Chinese investors will participate in an economic forum that is to be held on October 30. The investors will get to learn about the Albanian market and the investment opportunities in the country.

“From the contacts we have had, a considerable number of Chinese businessmen have expressed their interest to invest in the real market,” Zhilla said for the media.
The Chinese investors will present various economic sectors such as steel industry, mining, road infrastructure, industrial infrastructure, telecommunications, aeronautics, and energy.
