China News Service, Lanzhou, July 6 (Reporter Nan Ruzhuoma) Gao Jingde, President of the Hong Kong Chinese Culture Association, said when attending the high-end cooperation and development forum in Lanzhou on the 6th that Hong Kong has always been a very important partner in Gansu and the largest source of foreign investment in Gansu. Hong Kong and Gansu have strong economic complementarity and have very broad prospects for cooperation in the construction of the "Belt and Road".
Gao Jingde analyzed that Gansu has a rich history and culture, and Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes is world-famous. At the same time, as an important ecological security barrier in the northwest and even the whole country, an important new energy base in the country, a new material base in nonferrous metallurgy and a specialty agricultural product base, under the background of the national "Belt and Road" construction, it has huge development potential. As a financial shipping and trade center in the Asia-Pacific and even the world, Hong Kong has a high degree of internationalization and a developed service industry. It is an important window for the mainland to open up to the outside world and a bridge to the world.
The 23rd Lanzhou Investment and Trade Fair opened on the 6th. Well-known entrepreneurs from the Hong Kong business community formed a group to visit Gansu to discuss investment and trade cooperation. During this meeting, Hong Kong businessmen brought more than ten cooperation projects. Gao Jingde disclosed that the talks have made great progress after the past two days, and the transaction volume of the contract will be estimated to reach 50 billion yuan.
"Gansu is also the birthplace of Chinese culture. Chinese culture is not only the root and heart of the Chinese nation, but the identity of Chinese culture is the best way to achieve the true return of the Hong Kong people's heart to the motherland." Gao Jingde said that in the 17 years since its establishment, the Hong Kong Chinese Culture Association has become a team that has always united all levels of society and the majority of Hong Kong people by widely uniting patriotic societies and people from all walks of life in Hong Kong. Over the years, it has attracted more than 600 billion Hong Kong dollars to more than a dozen provinces in the mainland of the motherland.
"I came to Gansu for the first time, and I found it so good when I came." Gao Jingde said that Hong Kong is a place where investors gather, and they are willing to go as long as there are good investment opportunities. However, many entrepreneurs from Hong Kong's business, financial and cultural tourism circles do not come to Gansu, and they know very little. They hope that Gansu will formulate more preferential policies to attract Hong Kong people.
Gao Jingde further explained that at present, Hong Kong people are full of confidence and should better integrate into the country and integrate into the "Belt and Road" for development based on the foundation of one country. Hong Kong is another important area for Gansu to open up to the outside world. I hope that through this Lanzhou Fair, more Hong Kong friends can deepen their understanding of Gansu, and Longgang will definitely develop better. (End)
