The European Cross-Border E-commerce Forum is a fantastic opportunity for China and Europe to strengthen their cross-border relations by networking and exchanging ideas. The decision to hold the forum at Liege Airport also contributes towards making Liege a popular location for E-commerce – the airport is already home to an e-Hub which was opened this year by E-Logistics firm ViaEurope.
