In his address, Zhang Guohua said that this is the seventh consecutive year that the Kunshan government officials have come to Hong Kong to recruit investment. Like before, they strongly feel the businessmen’s enthusiasm towards Kunshan. This time, the Kunshan government aims to strengthen its cooperation in the modern service industry with Hong Kong which is an international financial and shipping center and has a strong modern service industry.

Last year, to combat the global financial crisis, the Kunshan government put forward seven local documents to support the development of different enterprises. As a result, its economy has been growing steadily in two figures.

The characteristics and trends of the industries formulated with the development of the Yangtze River Delta are also becoming increasingly clear, leading to a more targeted cooperation with Hong Kong.

Zhang also pointed out that, recently the State Council has approved the plans to revitalize ten industries in China, as well as the opinions about facilitating the development of modern service industry and advanced manufacturing industry in Shanghai and building Shanghai as the international financial and shipping center. Moreover, Shanghai will host the 2010 World Expo.

That is to establish ten innovation carriers of science and technology, ten modern service industry cluster districts, ten distinctive industrial bases, and ten leading industrial chains.

In the end of his speech, Zhang welcomed the guests to Kunshan for sightseeing, investigation and investment.
