CHENGDU, China, April 29, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The
International Horticultural Exhibition 2024 Chengdu kicked off on
Friday, attracting hundreds of exhibitors from more than 30
countries.
Ahead of the event, the Chengdu Opening-up and
International Cooperation Center organized several seminars between
local enterprises and delegations from overseas cities that have
friendly ties with Chengdu. On
Thursday, a group from Ljubljana,
capital of Slovenia and a twin
city of Chengdu, met with local
enterprises specializing in ecological and environmental
protection.
"We are very grateful to the center for inviting us to the
meeting," said Zeng Xi, director of the investment and development
department from Chengdu Environment and Investment Urban Management
Service, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Chengdu Environment
Group.
"We have found some fields of common interest between our group
and Ljubljana, such as renewable
resources, ecological conservation and new energy photovoltaics,"
Zeng said, adding he hopes to establish an effective communication
channel between the two sides for future cooperation.
Dejan Crnek, vice-mayor of
Ljubljana, said: "We intend to
collaborate with Chengdu in the
sector of sustainable transportation. We all know the city has
advanced hydrogen-powered vehicle and battery industries, and we
hope to introduce those technologies to our city to increase urban
operational efficiency. Upon my return, I will recommend
Chengdu enterprises to relevant
departments, and I believe there will be opportunities for
cooperation."
Representatives from Fergana, Uzbekistan, also visited the center on
Thursday and met with local enterprises in the fields of trade,
economy, industry, and cultural tourism. Among the participating
Chengdu companies was Gioneco, a
developer of urban digital platforms, which has launched projects
in Uzbekistan.
"We have prepared for our projects in Uzbekistan since 2022, and have branched out
into Fergana," said Liu Yong,
director of Gioneco's marketing development department. "It is
expected we will be able to access more international resources in
the near future with the support of the center. Meanwhile, we plan
to bring our business friends from Uzbekistan to Chengdu, helping local enterprises tap the
international market and promoting bilateral trade."
Expressing his admiration for Chengdu's business environment, Azimjon
Yuldashev, head of the Department of the Chamber of Commerce and
Industry of Uzbekistan in Fergana
Region, said he hopes to see a cooperation platform established by
the center to help more Chinese companies grow in Uzbekistan and to assist Uzbek firms in coming
to China.
