Zhang Zhijun, Mayor of Changchun City, met with the delegation led by Consul General Kawakami Fumihiro of Japan in Shenyang on September 22, 2020. The meeting was meant to renew friendship and promote friendly exchanges, economic and trade cooperation between Changchun City and Japan up to a new level.

“In recent years, Changchun has been resolutely implementing the important instructions made by General Secretary Xi Jinping on the revitalization of Northeast China especially the spirit of the important speeches General Secretary Xi made during his inspection trip to Jilin Province in July this year, promoting in a coordinated manner epidemic prevention and control and socioeconomic development, and making an all-out effort to secure the growth of economy from negative to positive and thus accelerate the comprehensive, all-round revitalization. Changchun is now in high gear to create a modern metropolitan area, promote the construction of “four major plates”, support FAW’s “four recoveries” and facilitate the development of modern agriculture, which in turn has laid a solid foundation for achieving the goal set for the whole year,” said Zhang Zhijun, adding, “Japan has long been known as an important cooperation partner of Changchun to its socioeconomic development your consul general in Shenyang has made positive contributions. We hope your role as a bridge and link can be continued to care, support and pay attention to the development of our city and promote the cooperation in all aspects between the two sides up a new level for win-win results.”

“As the implementation of revitalization of Northeast China goes deeper, the three provinces in Northeast China have become more popular at home and abroad,” said Consul General Kawakami Fumihiro, adding, “The approval of China (Changchun)-ROK International Cooperation Demonstration Zone, together with other favorable adjustments including the governance of Gongzhuling under your city, has brought about huge development space and potential for the development of your city. I will surely pay attention to your development and promote more pragmatic cooperation and exchanges between the two sides.”
