Headed by the ambassador of El Salvador to China, a delegation of journalists from major media in the Central American country visited Xiamen, Fujian province from April 7 to 8.
Han Jingyi, deputy mayor of Xiamen, met the delegation on April 7 and briefed them on the city's economic and social development.
Han hoped that Xiamen and El Salvador will make good use of the Belt and Road Initiative to promote their practical cooperation as China is seeing close ties with El Salvador.
"Xiamen is open wider to the outside world," said Walter Durán Martínez, ambassador of El Salvador to China, expecting the city to play an important role in foreign trade between the two countries.
Durán added that they will organize a delegation to attend the China International Fair for Investment & Trade (CIFIT) in September.
The CIFIT, an annual investment promotion event held in Xiamen, has grown into the largest, most influential and most comprehensive two-way investment promotion event in the world.
China announced and implemented on May 15 a policy allowing visa-free entry of foreign tourist groups aboard cruise ships via all cruise ship ports along the country's coastline.
China and Georgia are set to waive visa requirements for travelers starting May 28.
