On behalf of the Party Working Committee and Management Committee of Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Zone, Lai Jun extended his welcome to all the old and new friends. He pointed out that since the establishment of the Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Zone more than ten years ago, under the strong leadership of the Party Central Committee, the State Council, the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government, and the care and support of all walks of life, it has developed from a remote island to a vibrant modern city. The career has made great progress. based on the new development stage, Pingtan Comprehensive Experimental Zone is actively promoting the implementation of the overall development plan approved by the State Council, and is committed to creating an area with the most convenient landing of Taiwan products, the most open investment services in Taiwan, and the widest coverage of equal treatment for Taiwan compatriots. It is hoped that people from all walks of life on both sides of the strait will seize the opportunity and work together to continuously expand cross-strait economic and trade cooperation and exchanges, so that Pingtan can truly build a common market and a common home for both sides of the strait. At present, Pingtan has entered the best season for tourism. We look forward to more Taiwan compatriots coming to Pingtan to have a look, to appreciate the unique natural and cultural scenery of Pingtan, to actively offer suggestions for the construction of an international tourist island, and to create a bright future for the integration and development of Lantai. .
Xu Xiurui said that nostalgia is a shallow strait, and what connects the strait is the deep blood and affection between the two sides. At present, the concept of "one family on both sides of the strait" is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Pingtan's location advantages, channel advantages, and policy advantages to Taiwan are prominent. It is hoped that this event will serve as an opportunity to strengthen economic, trade and cultural exchanges and cooperation, promote the spiritual harmony of compatriots on both sides of the strait, and achieve hand in hand and create a better future.
