In July 2025, a delegation led by Qi Lixin, President of the Beijing Immigration and Exit-Entry Service Industry Association, travelled to Europe for field visits. As host for the Portugal stop, FGI Group Holdings promptly coordinated local resources and professional teams after receiving notice, and planned the itinerary with the Association. The visit focused on FUTURE’s core underlying assets, project-delivery pathways and service-team capability, with the aim of gaining a comprehensive understanding of project compliance, security and sustainable operating capability through field visits and face-to-face exchanges.

That morning, accompanied by the FGI team, the delegation visited the headquarters of Fidelidade, Portugal’s largest insurance group. Investment Department representatives hosted the delegation and provided a systematic explanation of key topics including bond structures, security ratings and historical returns, presenting the allocation logic of Portuguese insurance capital from an institutional-investment perspective.


During the on-site discussion, the delegation and Fidelidade team exchanged views candidly on topics including product compliance and asset resilience. President Qi Lixin stated that the face-to-face exchange helped the delegation understand more clearly the core logic and security design behind the underlying investment assets. The itinerary was coordinated by FGI to help the Association efficiently reach key institutions and underlying assets within a limited timeframe.


That evening, the delegation attended the reception for FGI Portugal’s office relocation celebration. They visited the newly opened Lisbon office of approximately 500 square metres and joined Portuguese representatives from the financial, legal and professional sectors in marking a new stage in the Group’s development in Portugal. President Qi Lixin delivered remarks, stating that the visit had deepened understanding of relevant Portuguese investment projects, recognising FGI’s professional local-service capability and international resource integration, and expressing interest in further cooperation while congratulating the Group on its relocation.
