Zhao Jianjun, mayor of Wuxi, expressed a strong interest in furthering 
economic, trade and cultural cooperation with Japan on the conference.

According to Zhao, Wuxi will focus on Japan's advantageous industrial clusters 
such as machinery manufacturing, automobile industry, new energy, and hydrogen 
energy storage to deepen industrial science and technology cooperation.

The city will join hands with Japanese partners to maintain the stability of 
international supply, and enhance business collaboration on equipment and 
material procurement in the fields of integrated circuits, biomedicine as well 
as high-end machinery and equipment, Zhao added.

In addition, continued efforts will be made to expand exchanges and mutual 
understanding in various areas such as culture, sports, tourism, education and 
health, and strengthen exploration on common issues such as dealing with aging 
and promoting carbon neutrality, Zhao pointed out.

To invest in China, choosing Wuxi is the right decision, said Song Yaoming, 
minister of economy and commerce at the Chinese embassy in Japan, adding that 
Wuxi, which boasts unique geographical advantages and transportation 
conditions, as well as a well-developed and advanced modern industrial system, 
is one of the areas with the highest concentration of Japanese enterprises in 
China. 

Nearly 300 guests from Japanese companies including Sony, Hitachi, THK and 
Yakult, as well as representatives of non-governmental organizations and 
friendly individuals attended the conference. A total of 26 projects with a 
contract value of about 1.54 billion U.S. dollars were signed on the conference.

The delegation also visited the world's top 500 companies, financial 
institutions, etc. in Japan.
