From September 9 to 13, 2026, the China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) took place at Shougang Park in Beijing. Mr. Wu Fuming, General Manager of Forenergy's Pipeline Engineering Division, attended the fair and held in-depth discussions with a number of energy and engineering enterprises to keep abreast of the latest industry developments and potential cooperation needs.

CIFTIS, together with the Canton Fair and the China International Import Expo, constitutes one of China's three major platforms for opening-up, and is the world's largest comprehensive trade-in-services exhibition. This edition was co-hosted by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China, and the People's Government of Beijing Municipality, attracting institutions and enterprises from over 70 countries and regions. The fair featured nine themed sections, with a dedicated "Going-Global Services" zone showcasing innovative practices in trade in services and presenting overseas implementation cases and solutions across industries. The energy and engineering consulting sections brought together a large number of leading central SOEs, engineering and construction firms, and supporting service providers, serving as an important bellwether for observing how China's services trade is expanding into overseas markets.

During the event, Mr. Wu held exchanges with multiple enterprises at the Environment and Energy Services Hall and the Engineering Consulting and Construction Services Hall. Face-to-face discussions were conducted with representatives from China Construction Second Engineering Bureau Co., Ltd. (CSCEC2B), Genertec Xinxing, China Construction Zhonghuan, China Construction Eighth Engineering Bureau Co., Ltd. (CSCEC8B), China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC), and China Petrochemical Corporation (Sinopec), among others. The parties exchanged views on the overseas business layouts of Chinese engineering enterprises, the challenges of cross-border project delivery, and the support mechanisms for overseas supply chains, and shared practical industry experience. Many participants also discussed real-world issues encountered during overseas project implementation, building a pragmatic bridge for communication.

CIFTIS is not only a showcase window but, more importantly, a platform for exchange and cooperation.
