Wenjiang district, a hub for healthcare and medical industries in the capital of Southwest China's Sichuan province, aims to build itself into an international urban area for living and working. It requires re-planning and renovating to meet its goal.

Halton Hills is willing to help Wenjiang with its city planning and will cooperate with the region in the fields of trade, investment, education, culture and tourism.

The forum serves as a platform for the two regions to strengthen exchanges and mutual understanding and to promote international civic cooperation.
