On December 8th, the 10th Wuxi International Sister Cities Forum and 2021 Wuxi 
International Industrial Cooperation Conference was held in Yixing, known as 
the Capital of Ceramics.

Nearly 100 guests, including ambassadors, consuls, and representatives of 
chambers of commerce from nearly 30 countries on five continents, gathered 
together to explore new areas of exchange and cooperation and make new friends 
in the field of business around the new theme of "industrial cooperation", 
according to Foreign Affairs Office of Wuxi.

Zhao Jianjun, Acting Mayor of Wuxi Municipal People's Government, said that 
Wuxi sincerely hopes to deepen exchanges and cooperation with the people of 
sister cities in broader fields and at a higher starting point. "We will 
strengthen the alignment of policies, industries, and projects, promote the 
upgrading of two-way economic, trade and investment cooperation, and will tap 
into complementary advantages and achieve win-win cooperation." Focusing on 
industrial development, scientific and technological innovation, green 
low-carbon, urban construction, and other areas, the event intends to explore 
new models of capital, technology, and talent cooperation.

At the conference, the "Closer Cooperation, Forever Friendship" international 
industrial cooperation platform and the "Sino-Dutch Big Data Industrial 
Platform" were officially launched, helping Wuxi to further deepen its global 
industrial cooperation. The international cooperation projects of various 
cities (counties) and districts were unveiled at the conference one by one, 
covering 14 countries and regions around the world, including people-to-people 
exchanges, personnel training, artificial intelligence, green environmental 
protection, and other fields. It shows the sufficient strength and fruitful 
results of Wuxi's implementation of the cooperation plan for international 
exchanges.

The conference played a series of videos showing achievements of the 
international sister city industrial cooperation projects, which demonstrates 
the great charm of "Humanistic Wuxi", "Intelligent Wuxi", "Open Wuxi" and 
"Innovative Wuxi" from four aspects: people-to-people connection, industrial 
cooperation, platform interconnection and resource sharing.

The project "See Sister Cities in the Cloud" was also launched at the 
conference, and promo videos from 24 countries and 29 international sister 
cities will be displayed on outdoor screens such as airport and Nanchang 
Street, as well as subway, bus and other mobile terminals, so that citizens can 
have an "international trip" without leaving home at any time.
