HONOLULU, United States, Aug. 4 (Xinhua) — 2023 China Hainan Night, a special event designed to explore opportunities for future cooperation between China’s Hainan province and the U.S. state of Hawaii, was held here on Friday.<\/p>\n
While attending the event, Vice Governor of Hainan Chen Huaiyu said that Hainan is constructing a world-class free trade port, which not only shows the remarkable achievements of China’s reform and opening-up, but also provides immense market potential and development opportunities for enterprises worldwide, including those from Hawaii.<\/p>\n
Chen said he hopes that Hainan and Hawaii, which established a sister relationship in 1992, could further strengthen cooperation on international tourism marketing, and enhance the development of tourism markets for both sides.<\/p>\n
“As Hawaii excels in the development of international tourism products, we are exceedingly pleased to share the opportunity for collaboration within this rapidly expanding market,” he said.<\/p>\n
Lieutenant Governor of Hawaii Sylvia Luke, who also attended the event, said Hainan and Hawaii, which bear remarkable similarities, have an incredible opportunity to embark on a new chapter of collaboration, innovation, and cultural exchanges.<\/p>\n
The bilateral friendship lasting 31 years has laid the foundation for meaningful cooperation in the future, particularly in such fields as smart tourism, infrastructure construction and green energy, she said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Shi Yuanqiang, deputy Chinese consul general in Los Angeles, encouraged the two sides to promote China-U.S. win-win cooperation by utilizing Hainan’s development opportunities, especially through its free trade port, which has helped liberalize and facilitate trade and investment.<\/p>\n
“With the recovery of the global economy and the resumption of personnel exchanges after the pandemic, the potential and prospects of friendly cooperation between Hainan and Hawaii are bound for a bright future,” Shi said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
