"Sky Road in the Air, Shared Development" - China Eastern Airlines Setoguchi Tomoko: Kagoshima is connected to Shanghai, so that more Japanese friends can understand the more real Chinese

Chinese name: Setoguchi Tomoko

Nationality: Japan

Position: Kagoshima Sales Department, China Eastern Airlines Japan Branch General Manager

2002, China Eastern Airlines Shanghai-Kagshima started its flight, and Setoguchi Tomoko was one of them. She has served as the general manager of the Kagoshima Sales Department of China Eastern Airlines Japan Branch since July 2017. This year marks her 20th year of working at China Eastern Airlines and also coincides with the 20th anniversary of the launch of the Kagoshima-Shanghai route. She said, "I am very lucky that my 20 years at China Eastern Airlines have connected my hometown Kagoshima with one of the fastest growing cities in the world - Shanghai, and shared development opportunities." In order to be among the world's top aviation companies, China Eastern Airlines has never stopped exploring and pursuing.

Go to contact the more real Chinese

Recently, she is actively coordinating with the local county government on the resumption of flights and the 20th anniversary promotion activities. She is full of confidence and hope for the recovery of the aviation market. "When the epidemic dissipates, China Eastern Airlines will continue to serve as a bridge connecting China and Japan, so that more Chinese and Japanese friends can face to face, hold hands and embrace each other again."

Setoguchi Tomoko recalled the heartwarming experience of being sent to Shanghai Airport for training when she first joined the company. "When I was resting between flights, I like to chat with Chinese friends the most, talk about popular TV series, weekend activities, etc.." For Setoguchi Tomoko, in Shanghai, what she saw in Shanghai was not only the scenery with profound cultural heritage such as the Shili foreign market, the slim cheongsam, the garden villa , but this all-encompassing city also contains rich food and health culture. "If everyone can have an in-depth understanding of China, communicate more with Chinese friends, and see China with their own eyes, everyone will like China more." Setoguchi Tomoko has always been committed to letting more Japanese friends come into contact with more real China. She joined the Sino-Japanese Friendship Association of Kagoshima Prefecture to carry out various activities, such as convening the elderly around to hold a Chinese cultural tea party, convening Japanese tourist groups to travel to China, and celebrating the Chinese Spring Festival at Japanese airports.

becomes 100% good memories

Looking back on her 20-year career, Seto Guai Tomoko said that she was lucky. She integrated "passion", "dedication" and "meaning" into her work. During the 2010 Shanghai World Expo, China Eastern Airlines took a charter flight from Shanghai- Tonoshima . Since Tonoshima Airport did not have a bridge facility, she and the agent immediately studied and made a "wooden staircase". After a long period of coordination and business communication, the task of Tonoshima was successfully completed. Recalling the charter flight guarantee, Setoguchi Tomoko said, "Although the first 99% are hard work, when the flight lands smoothly and the passengers come back safely, all units expressed their gratitude to me, and the remaining 1% of the sense of accomplishment eventually turned into 100% of the good memories."

China Eastern Airlines is another home of Setoguchi Tomoko, carrying her laughter and tears, recording her growth and transformation. As the epidemic began around New Year 2020, she immediately contacted the local medical wholesaler, the Pharmacist Association and the Kagoshima Prefecture Government to donate masks to China and ensure that all epidemic prevention materials arrived in Shanghai smoothly. When the epidemic began to spread in Japan, various units in Shanghai also took the initiative to care about Japan's epidemic prevention situation and actively provided material assistance.

The sense of accomplishment and joy of participating in it is indescribable.

For example, the Shandon Road Station project is part of the third phase of the Tongshen-East Coastline of rail transit.

Deng Ruiquan said that the rail transit network has shaped land use value and development model, created jobs and promoted economic growth. It also encourages people to shift from private transportation to public transportation, thereby reducing the country's carbon emissions.

Although I have not been to China yet, Kulalai has a deep understanding of the changes brought by Chinese companies to the local social and economic development: "China is one of the main sources of investment in Kazakhstan. These investments are not only used in production and industrialization, but also create jobs."

invested in the field of renewable energy

As a professional company engaged in the investment, construction and operation of clean energy such as wind power stations and photovoltaic power stations around the "Belt and Road" initiative, Huantai Energy has established a holding subsidiary UEQ in Kazakhstan, responsible for operating and maintaining its new energy power stations in Kazakhstan. The company's six new energy projects with a total of 380MW in Kazakhstan are all included in the "List of Key Projects for China-Kazakhstan Capacity Cooperation".

Kazakhstan is a golden middle belt between the West and the East. Some corporate cultures are equally important to both countries, that is, the focus on results, discipline, communication, professionalism and creativity."
