Shanghai Mayor Gong Zheng met with the Governor of Jeollanamdo, South Korea, Kim Young rok, and his delegation today.
Gong Zheng said that Shanghai is currently focusing on deepening the construction of the "five centers" and strengthening the "four major functions". Jeollanamdo has abundant resources and a high level of economic development, and there is broad space for cooperation between the two regions. Shanghai attaches great importance to friendly exchanges with Jeollanamdo. Since the establishment of friendly exchange relations in 1996, the two cities have carried out extensive and pragmatic cooperation in areas such as economy, trade, culture, agriculture, and tourism, achieving positive results. We are willing to strengthen exchanges with Jeollanamdo, strengthen economic and trade cooperation, promote two-way investment, and hope that the two regions will deepen cooperation in high-end manufacturing, new energy and other fields, support and encourage excellent enterprises to invest in both directions, and achieve common development. At the same time, we look forward to strengthening cultural and tourism cooperation between the two regions, welcoming more South Korean people to Shanghai for sightseeing, and more Jeollanamdo enterprises to appear at the CIIE. We wish Jeollanamdo a complete success in its tourism promotion and investment briefing held in Shanghai.
Jin Yinglu said that Shanghai is a world-renowned economic and trade center, and its achievements in economic development are impressive. Jeollanamdo has a long and deep connection with Shanghai in history, and is also very close geographically. This visit has made the delegation feel very friendly. I hope that the two regions can strengthen exchanges and deepen cooperation in areas such as economy and trade, energy, biomedicine, and tourism, promote mutual investment, and work together for common development.
