China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) hosted an event on April 16 with the theme "China in the New Era: a Dynamic Tianjin Going Global". The event aims to promote Tianjin, one of the four municipalities directly under the central government of China, to the rest of the world.
Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi, and Li Hongzhong, a member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and secretary of the CPC Tianjin Municipal Committee, both spoke at the event.
Li said that the city will continue opening up, deepening integration with the Belt and Road Initiative, and strengthening exchange and cooperation with foreign countries.
Wang said that Tianjin was the pioneer of China's modern industrial development and has been thriving through reform and opening-up. As a crossroads of land and sea routes for the Belt and Road Initiative as well as a main node of the new Eurasia land bridge economic corridor, Tianjin is standing again at the forefront during a new round of reform and opening-up, Wang added.
Deputy Foreign Ministers Le Yucheng, Qin Gang and Zhang Hanhui, attended the event along with foreign diplomats, representatives of international organizations, business leaders, academics and members of the media.
