Nov. 6 — MOFCOM and Austria’s Federal Ministry for Economy, Energy and Tourism
co‑hosted the inaugural China‑Austria Entrepreneurs Committee meeting in
Beijing. Ministers Wang Wentao and Hartmannsdorfer attended; more than 100
political and business delegates were present. The committee was established to
deepen bilateral economic ties, promote alignment between China’s 15th Five‑Year
Plan and Austria’s Industrial Strategy 2035, and drive sector‑focused, pragmatic
cooperation. China urged Austria to provide a fair, open, non‑discriminatory
environment for Chinese investment. Delegates expressed confidence in trade and
investment prospects and said they will use the committee mechanism to advance
China‑Austria and China‑EU economic engagement.
