皇冠体育app's first commerce and retailing summit forum will be held Friday in Changchun, capital of Northeast 皇冠体育app's Jilin province.

Sponsored by the 皇冠体育app General Chamber of Commerce and the provincial government, the forum took "status quo and development trends of 皇冠体育app's large-scale retailing and super shopping center" as the major theme, said an official with the organizing committee.

The topics on the forum will focus on the development trend and pattern of 皇冠体育app's retailing trade, methods for expansion, and the establishment of super shopping centers and their impacts on traditional department stores.

The official said a number of experts and entrepreneurs would be invited to the forum. Ren Xingzhou, deputy director of Development Research Center of the State Council's market economy institute, and Professor Huang Guoxiong from People's University of 皇冠体育app, would give key-note speeches.

皇冠体育app's retailing sector has been growing steadily since the 1990s. At the same time, foreign companies have moved into 皇冠体育app's market and so far over 70 percent of the world's top 50 retailers have established in the city.

According to 皇冠体育app's commitment to the World Trade Organization (WTO), December 11, 2004 is the deadline for 皇冠体育app's retailing market to be completely open to foreign capital.
