More measures in investment and trade facilitation, opening-up of the financial and service sectors, logistics and other fields will be unveiled to create a first-class business environment for enterprises.

While addressing the event, Fang Wei, Mayor of Lianyungang, said that the establishment of the Lianyungang Area opens new space for cooperation between Lianyungang and SOEs. The Area will focus on developing modern service industries such as biological medicine, modern logistics, cross-border e-commerce, financial services, etc..

Deputy Mayor Wu Haiyun introduced ten cases of system innovation in the area involving business environment optimization, innovative trade facilitation, the construction of the intersection for the Belt and Road and port efficiency improvement.

In order to boost the development of the pharmaceutical industry, a featured industry in Lianyungang, the city has also formulated related investment policies to provide support in carriers, industries, finance, technology and talents, mentioned Wu.
