Delegates were welcomed by Wei, who expressed his gratitude to Utrust for its long-term financial support to Zhanjiang's development.
Wei spoke of the government's plan to build Zhanjiang into a transportation hub, technology and education center in western Guangdong, putting the city in a central position in the Beibu Gulf Rim in China's southwestern coastal region.
Wei expressed his hope that Utrust can lend a helping hand to support the construction of the city's key infrastructure as well as projects aimed at improving social welfare. Wei said he wished for professional financial services to be offered to Zhanjiang's small and medium-sized enterprises and PPP (public-private-partnership) project, a cooperative arrangement between one or more public sector bodies.
Yang said that Utrust has always followed and helped with government plans, and will continue to give full support to Zhanjiang's economic development through deep and wide cooperation.
