With a batch of well-selected projects, Yuncheng is going to attract
investors from both home and abroad at the 2006 Shanxi (Hong Kong) Investment
Attraction Fair that opens today in the Hong Kong Special Administrative
Region.
"It is the first time that Yuncheng and even Shanxi Province hold
an investment promotion fair outside the province," Zhang Maocai, secretary of
the Yuncheng Committee of the Communist Party of China, told China Daily in an
exclusive interview.
Eleven major cities and prefectures of North China's
Shanxi Province will showcase their projects for overseas investment at the fair
that will last until July 27.
"Governments at various levels have attached
great importance to this fair," Zhang said, adding that Yuncheng, which
cherishes this great opportunity, has fully prepared for it.
Yuncheng,
the southwestern gate of North China's Shanxi Province, is active in
implementing the opening-up policy.
According to Zhang, the city has
made strides in areas of agricultural processing, aluminium magnesium alloy
production, precision casting, fine chemistry, modern logistics, water saving
technology, disposal of garbage and sewage, as well as many advances in the
cultural and tourism industries.
"And this time, there are more than 100
investment projects, with an emphasis on the service sector, infrastructure,
public service, environmental protection, social work, and State-owned
enterprise reform," Zhang said.
"We highly value this opportunity," Zhang
said, adding that the hinterland city has to open up further, co-operate with
developed areas such as Hong Kong, where capital, technologies, and talented
human resources are concentrated, and get ready for industries to come in from
outside of China.
"I believe the Hong Kong fair will inject new and
robust momentum to Yuncheng's growth, which is also our main aim for this
business trip."
