NINGBO, China, March 30, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
Leveraging Port Vitality to Outline New Roadmaps for Coastal Cities
-- an interview with Xue Jian, Consul General of the People's Republic of China
in Osaka, and Tanaka Toshimitsu, Director-General of Osaka Ports and Harbors
Bureau
A news reported from NBGD:
The Maritime Silk Road has been essential in promoting the economic and
cultural development of Ningbo and Osaka, Japan, one of the 15 coastal cities
selected for their profound ties with the ocean to be part of Ningbo, Setting
Sail to Embrace the World, an extensive global cross-media reporting project.
In Osaka, Ningbo's media outlets interviewed Xue Jian, Consul General of the
People's Republic of China in Osaka, and Tanaka Toshimitsu, Director-General of
Osaka Ports and Harbors Bureau.
In recent years, the Chinese Consulate General in Osaka has been actively
helping Chinese-funded enterprises form new connections while communicating a
compelling China story. Consul General Xue spoke highly of Ningbo's
achievements as a hub city on the Belt and Road. In 2020, despite the
challenges brought on by the global pandemic, Ningbo and Osaka successfully
initiated the Ningbo-Osaka "Maritime Express Channel" as a new way to boost
maritime relations during a time when many international flight services were
suspended.
The 2025 World Expo will be held in Osaka. Tanaka Toshimitsu, Director-General
of Osaka Ports and Harbors Bureau, told reporters that the main venue of the
Expo will be built on Yumeshima, an artificial island reclaimed with
construction waste soil. Policies on using waste soil for reclamation have
transformed Osaka's coastlines and ports into "Harbors of the Future" with
low-carbon lifestyles.
Tanaka said that in the new century, the booming world economy has created
environmental problems and energy crises around the world, presenting new
challenges to the development of ports in Ningbo and Osaka.
Compared with 20 years ago, Osaka Port's container shipping volume with China
is approximately 20% higher, a number that gives Tanaka great confidence in
China-Japan trade and Ningbo-Osaka trade.
According to Tanaka, about 130 Japanese companies (including multinationals
headquartered in Osaka) have a presence in Ningbo, providing good opportunities
for Ningbo Port and Osaka Port to strengthen their connection and expand
cooperation in IT and smart technologies, while outlining a more ambitious
long-term roadmap for coastal development.
