On the afternoon of December 27, a leading Japanese fine chemical industry enterprise came to Ping An for an inspection, accompanied by Dai Zhen, member of the Standing Committee of the Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor, Zhao Zhenning, director of the Municipal Bureau of Commerce, and relevant leaders of Dushan Port Economic and Technological Development.
After the field visit to Dushan Port, the enterprise representatives affirmed and satisfied with the good investment and business environment and superior location advantages of our city, and initially intended to invest in Dushan and Pinghu, with a total investment of 100 million dollars. This project is the key visit project of the Dushan Port Economic and Trade Delegation to Japan. This visit is the first time for the Japanese headquarters of the enterprise to arrange a return visit, which shows the recognition and affirmation of the enterprise’s investment environment in Pinghu, and is also one of the important achievements of Pinghu’s investment promotion trip to Japan in December.
Japan is an important source of foreign capital in our city, and Pinghu is a gathering place for Japanese businessmen and Japanese capital in the Yangtze River Delta. Recently, our city has actively implemented the spirit of the relevant documents of the “double grab” competition carried out by the superiors, and the government has taken the lead in “going out” to grab orders and merchants, and has made every effort to stabilize foreign trade, foreign investment and the basic economic situation. At the beginning of December, Pinghu’s first group of economic and trade delegations to Japan visited about 16 enterprises and relevant institutions in less than six days, and reached four investment intention projects, with an investment intention of 175 million dollars. Most Japanese customers believe that Pinghu’s first overseas visit to Japan in three years fully reflects the high importance it attaches to the Japanese market, and relevant Japanese enterprises and investment institutions have expressed their confidence in the production, operation and future development of Pinghu.
In recent years, our city has always adhered to the “No. 1 Project” of attracting investment, innovated its thinking, focused on the key points, made efforts accurately, focused on projects, promoted the recruitment, and made every effort to stabilize the basic market of foreign capital. From January to November, the city’s actual foreign investment reached 414 million US dollars, an increase of 8.7% year on year, and 103.5% of Jiaxing’s target; We have completed 16 projects to attract talents from universities, and completed 160% of Jiaxing’s target tasks. Both indicators have completed the annual target ahead of schedule, and are expected to reach a record high.
Next, the Municipal Bureau of Commerce will continue to take the initiative to “go out”. Next year, it is planned to organize more than 12 groups of overseas investment promotion groups to go all out to find resources, seize customers and expand the increment, and continue to fight the active battle of attracting investment and attracting large and strong enterprises.
