WEIFANG, China, March 24, 2020 /Xinhua=KYODO JBN/--

According to the website of the Weifang Municipal People's Government, the

government has been effectively working on COVID-19 epidemic prevention and

control, and at the same time, has also been issuing invitations and introductions

(i.e. inviting businesses and talents, introducing capital and intelligence, or Double

Promotions and Double Invitations) by conducting online promotions, by canvassing

businesses and by enabling investment agents.

In addition, the local government has been exploring cloud promotions, online

contract signings and investment invitations without the need for face-to-face

negotiations, as well as strengthening negotiations with merchants, enterprises

and chambers of commerce to promote these invitations and introductions in 2020.

Weifang City has launched its new cloud investment promotion model through the

establishment of a 24-hour online investment promotion mechanism, has

transformed face-to-face communications into screen-to-screen negotiations,

implemented the Action Plan of Global Investment Promotion Partners, and has

facilitated the role of economic and social development consultants from the

Weifang Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, investment

promotion ambassadors and Weifang-born celebrities who are now located in other

places. While expanding investment promotion channels and efficiently enabling

investment agents, the city is offering full support to the driving role of

leading enterprises, and is vigorously canvassing businesses. From January to

February, Weifang signed off on 181 new projects.
