China will "support and guide all types of enterprises to conduct investment cooperation abroad", said the commission's report.
And the nation will also "improve relevant rules and regulations, providing Chinese investors more information about specific industries and the target nations and regions, perfecting relevant guidelines", it said.
China's outbound direct investment has continued to grow over the past five years despite the slide in global foreign direct investment, making the country the world's sixth-largest investing nation in 2011.
"It's high time that Chinese companies invest abroad, as they are more capable and more motivated to expand sales networks and enhance branding through boosting their overseas presence," said Li Jinzhang, Chinese ambassador to Brazil.
Brazil will be a key target destination for Chinese investment, he said.
According to Li, China is now an important source of investment in Brazil, seeing explosive growth in the Latin American nation in recent years.
Last year, ASEAN and the European Union were among the top destinations for China's outbound direct investment.
"The European debt crisis offers China huge opportunities to expand investment in the region, and in Germany in particular," said Shi Mingde, Chinese ambassador to Germany.
After last year's decrease in China's foreign direct investment, the first in three years, the commission's report said it is expected to grow 1.2 percent year-on-year in 2013 to $113 billion.
China's foreign direct investment has kept dropping over the past few months. Last year, it decreased 3.7 percent year-on-year to $111.7 billion, according to the Ministry of Commerce. And it continued to drop in January — by 7.3 percent year-on-year.
The ministry attributed the drop to China's slowing economic growth and the fragile global economic recovery, but a spokesman for the commission said that China remains an attractive destination for foreign direct investment.
