The Qingdao Multinationals Summit was held in Qingdao on October 19. When making the speech in the opening ceremony, Jiayi Liu, the secretary of Shandong provincial committee, said that President Xi Jinping paid close attention to the Summit and sent a congratulatory letter, which once again demonstrates China's strong determination in opening up to the outside world at a higher level. Vice President Zheng Han’s speech made a clear requirement of holding a successful summit and promoting cooperation. We must keep our instructions in mind, carry them out, and strive to build new platform of opening up.

Liu pointed out that Shandong is a place full of rich cultural heritage and vitality. There is an upsurge of innovation and creation everywhere. Multinationals are windows for Shandong reaching to the outside world, and Shandong is also a stage for multinationals to make their grand plans. The Qingdao Multinationals Summit has set up a big platform for cooperation between multinationals and China, and constructs a new bridge for mutual communication with Shandong and multinationals. We will more actively integrate ourselves into China's overall opening-up policy and carry out all-round, multi-faceted and in-depth cooperation with multinational companies. We sincerely welcome scientists, entrepreneurs and financiers from all over the world to come to Shandong to start business, create jobs by investment, enjoy benefit of old growth drivers replacement, invest in business, foster scientific and technological innovation, establish cultural communication and construct infrastructure. We will provide "full cycle" green services for high-level talents and create a comfortable, caring and cozy environment for entrepreneurs. Let us join hands to sow the seeds of friendship, harvest the fruits of cooperation and create a better future.
