Shanghai Municipal Party Secretary Chen Jining met with Australia's BHP Billiton Group CEO Compaq and his entourage today. Chen Jining said that as China's economic center city and a frontier window for reform and opening up, Shanghai has unswervingly expanded its high-level opening-up to the outside world, and has consistently provided a long-term, stable and predictable development environment for Chinese and foreign enterprises. BHP Billiton is a world-renowned mining company. We welcome the opportunity of digital intelligence and green transformation, strengthen the interface with Shanghai's urban functions and development strategies, make good use of Shanghai's advantages in reform and opening-up, scientific and technological innovation, industrial ecology, supply chain management and talent gathering, further deepen and expand areas of cooperation, and promote more new business development, new technology applications, and new product launches. We will listen carefully to the opinions and suggestions of enterprises, continuously optimize the business environment, accelerate the improvement of regulatory and legal systems compatible with a high level of openness, actively build a multi-level commodity market system with international competitiveness, and support enterprises to achieve better development in Shanghai. Combard introduced the company's development strategy and business situation in Shanghai and stated that China and Shanghai have always maintained a stable and open development environment, which is very important for the company's strategic decisions and strategic investments. BHP Billiton values the good cooperative relationship that has been established over a long period of time. It will continue to increase its trade and investment layout based in Shanghai, strengthen mutual learning from experience and explore the potential for cooperation around bulk trade, scientific and technological innovation, and green development, and contribute more to the construction of Shanghai's “Five Centers”.
