The USA session of the “Connecting Shandong with the Fortune Global 500” is held in Jinan, Shandong province on September 29th.

The event, hosted by the CPC Shandong Provincial Committee and the Shandong Provincial People’s Government, and organized by the Department of Commerce of Shandong Province, aims to deepen business ties between Shandong and transnational corporations from the United States.

Liu Jiayi, Secretary of the CPC Shandong Provincial Committee, participated in online dialogues with Craig Allen, president of the US-China Business Council, and William Cohen, chairman and CEO of Cohen Group.

Liu delivered a speech at the conference, saying that Shandong government has rolled out a series of policies this year to improve the foreign investment environment and help foreign-funded enterprises to cope with difficulties caused by the epidemic. American-funded enterprises in Shandong have already resumed operations and are running smoothly.

When talking online with William Cohen, chairman and CEO of Cohen Group, Liu stressed Shandong’s strong desire to deepen cooperation with multinational companies and to give full play to the active role of multinational companies in the replacement of old growth drivers with new ones.

He hoped that Cohen could use his influence in US political and business circles to contribute to the healthy development of China-US economic and trade relations.

Shandong will strive to create a world-class business environment and provide business opportunities for global companies, including those of the US to invest in the province, said Governor Li Ganjie.

Jack Chan, chairman of EY China and CEO of EY Greater China Regional Managing Partner; Gregory Gilligan, Chairman of Amcham China; and Bogdan Bereanda, AP Managing Director of the Electronics and Electrification Division and Fuel Injection System of Delphi Technologies, discussed how to maintain the stability of the global industrial and supply chains, stabilize foreign trade and further promote Shandong’s opening up.

With a total of $160 million in investment, seven key projects were signed at the sub-venues in Qingdao, Zibo, Zaozhuang, Yantai, Weihai, Tai'an and Heze. The projects focused on medical and health care, financial services, business services, petrochemicals, environmental protection and the exhibition industries.
