With Xiamen set to host the BRICS Summit on Sept 3-5, the coastal city in Fujian province has already begun training its crack team of 220 hosts and volunteers to look after its distinguished foreign guests during the summit.
The city organized its second training course for the selected hosts and volunteers on June 17.
The day-long course focused on topics including confidentiality, the duties of liaison staff and procedures for receiving foreign guests.

The liaison staff and volunteers were all chosen from State-owned enterprises, banks and universities in Xiamen. They were selected for their high political awareness and comprehensive skills, as well as their proficiency in foreign languages.
China has launched a new pilot program to allow eligible enterprises greater access to overseas financing in support of green and low-carbon transformation projects, the country's foreign exchange regulator said on Aug 21.
To further streamline the experience, China is expanding tax refund stores, broadening the range of refundable goods, and refining refund procedures, ensuring an efficient and seamless shopping experience for global visitors.
