WUXI, China, Dec. 10, 2021 /Xinhua=KYODO JBN/--

On December 8th, the 10th Wuxi International Sister Cities Forum and 2021 Wuxi

International Industrial Cooperation Conference was held in Yixing, known as

the Capital of Ceramics.

Nearly 100 guests, including ambassadors, consuls, and representatives of

chambers of commerce from nearly 30 countries on five continents, gathered

together to explore new areas of exchange and cooperation and make new friends

in the field of business around the new theme of "industrial cooperation",

according to Foreign Affairs Office of Wuxi.

Zhao Jianjun, Acting Mayor of Wuxi Municipal People's Government, said that

Wuxi sincerely hopes to deepen exchanges and cooperation with the people of

sister cities in broader fields and at a higher starting point. "We will

strengthen the alignment of policies, industries, and projects, promote the

upgrading of two-way economic, trade and investment cooperation, and will tap

into complementary advantages and achieve win-win cooperation." Focusing on

industrial development, scientific and technological innovation, green

low-carbon, urban construction, and other areas, the event intends to explore

new models of capital, technology, and talent cooperation.

At the conference, the "Closer Cooperation, Forever Friendship" international

industrial cooperation platform and the "Sino-Dutch Big Data Industrial

Platform" were officially launched, helping Wuxi to further deepen its global

industrial cooperation. The international cooperation projects of various

cities (counties) and districts were unveiled at the conference one by one,

covering 14 countries and regions around the world, including people-to-people

exchanges, personnel training, artificial intelligence, green environmental

protection, and other fields. It shows the sufficient strength and fruitful

results of Wuxi's implementation of the cooperation plan for international

exchanges.

The conference played a series of videos showing achievements of the

international sister city industrial cooperation projects, which demonstrates

the great charm of "Humanistic Wuxi", "Intelligent Wuxi", "Open Wuxi" and

"Innovative Wuxi" from four aspects: people-to-people connection, industrial

cooperation, platform interconnection and resource sharing.

The project "See Sister Cities in the Cloud" was also launched at the

conference, and promo videos from 24 countries and 29 international sister

cities will be displayed on outdoor screens such as airport and Nanchang

Street, as well as subway, bus and other mobile terminals, so that citizens can

have an "international trip" without leaving home at any time.
