The 17th Annual International Land Policy Forum
We have organized the Annual International Land Policy Forum as one of the official events of the Land Month. The theme of this year is "Sustainable Real Estate Investment," the same as that of last year. We have invited professionals of environment-friendly property investment from overseas to give lectures on the style, roles and problems of property investment for realization of a sustainable and rich society to be handed to the next generation, and for creation of the excellent environment-friendly property (green property) stocks.
