Chen Jining meets with the Chairman of the International P&I Group and the principals of relevant member associations
This afternoon, Chen Jining, secretary of the municipal party committee, met with Andrew Cutler, chairman of the International P&I Group and CEO of the Brittany P&I Club, and principals of relevant member associations.
Chen Jining introduced the relevant situation of Shanghai's economic and social development and the construction of an international shipping center. He said that the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has drawn up a grand blueprint for Chinese-style modernization. As China's economic center city and a frontier window for reform and opening up, Shanghai focuses on the important mission of building the "five centers", unswervingly deepens high-level opening up to the outside world, and accelerates the promotion of high-quality development. Shanghai is prosperous because of its ports. At present, it is closely following green development, digital transformation, and legal protection to accelerate the construction of an international shipping center. As an important international organization in the field of shipping insurance, the International P&I Group has played an active role in promoting the development of global shipping trade. Looking to the future, there is a very broad space for cooperation between the two sides. It is hoped that we will further deepen communication and docking, strengthen exchanges and mutual learning, enhance the level of cooperation, place more new businesses and new platforms in Shanghai, and better play the role of resource advantages and professionalism in promoting personnel exchanges and conducting personnel training, so as to help Shanghai International Shipping Center enhance its core competitiveness and global influence. We will continue to create a market-oriented, legal, and international first-class business environment to support global shipping companies and institutions to achieve greater development in Shanghai.
Andrew Cutler and Nick Shaw, CEO of International P&I Group, Jeremy Gross and Paul Jennings, Joint General Managers of North Standard P&I Club, Nigel Carden, Chairman of the United Kingdom P&I Club Managers, Starr Hansen, Chairman and CEO of Scot P&I Club, Tom Bowsher, CEO of West of England P&I Club, Thomas Nordberg, General Manager of Swedish P&I Club, and Ian Gooch, CEO of London P&I Club, attended the meeting and talked about their ideas and suggestions based on the development of the association and business cooperation with China. Everyone said that Shanghai, as an international shipping center, has developed rapidly and has obvious advantages, and is firmly optimistic about its development prospects. We will firmly grasp the trend of digitalization, intelligence and greening, deepen pragmatic cooperation around new business and new models, strengthen exchanges and mutual learning of experience and practices, jointly respond to global challenges such as climate change, and work together to create a bright future for the shipping industry.
