April 8th, 2014, Jining-Australia talkfest for Mining Delegation was held in Saint International Conference Center. Wu Jiwen, vice mayor of Jining City, attended the talkfest and delivered a speech. And representatives of Shandong China Coal Industry&amp;Mining Supplies Group, such as Han Yong, the Group executive vice president, and Li Zhenbo, vice president were invited to attend the meeting.<br /> At the meeting, Ms Wu expressed that Jining has attached great importance to the development of economic&amp;trade cooperation and exchanges with Australia for a long time. In return, the majority of Australian businessmen were ery concerned about the hometown of Confucius and Mencius. And both sides, in recent years, strive to expand exchanges&amp;cooperation fields so as to develop a closer economic and trade relationhip.<br /> <p> Actually, with the full swing and deepening &nbsp;of a new round of the development of Jining, in all fields there emerged a new vigor and a lot of investment hotspot. Jining, the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, became a hot spot to invest. We would like to regard the talkfest as a new starting point to still carry out an all-round, wide-ranging and in-depth cooperation with Australia. And we will further optimize the policy environment, strengthen platform support, improve service performance, &nbsp;establish an administrative service system that featured as &nbsp;"fastest acting, most superior service, and lowest cost", and create a fair, open, and eq uitable investment environment so as to let the Australian friends that working&amp;living in Jining feel more comfortable. I believe that after a pragmatic and creative work of all parties, the beneficial cooperation between Australia and Jining will create a new situation. </p> <p style="text-align:center;"> <img src="/upfiles/news/image/20140410/20140410180143_1122.jpg" alt="" /> </p> <p style="text-align:center;"> <img src="/upfiles/news/image/20140410/20140410180200_1161.jpg" alt="" /> </p> <p style="text-align:center;"> <img src="/upfiles/news/image/20140410/20140410180217_3720.jpg" alt="" /> </p> <p style="text-align:center;"> <br /> </p>
