Wenzhou calls for businesspeople to come home

Wenzhou, one of the most vibrant and economically-advanced cities in East China's Zhejiang province, is renowned for giving rise to a large population of businesspeople who have left the region to build businesses all over the world.

Currently, there are around 2.45 million people from Wenzhou running businesses around the world. These people have established hundreds of regional associations and overseas Chinese organizations.

The 2023 Wenzhou Entrepreneurs Convention, which took place on Jan 28, is aimed at leveraging this high-value community of business owners and encouraging more capital and projects to"come home".

Liu Xiaotao, Party secretary of Wenzhou, extended his New Year greetings to the merchants and addressed the convention.

"Businesspeople are the most valuable treasure of Wenzhou. I hope that this city can always support them, and that the bright and capable businesspeople can explore more new development opportunities for the city," Liu said.

Attendees shared their reflections on Wenzhou's development in recent years, such as the improvement of the business environment, the integration of industrial chains, and the sharing of resources with the world. (ZhongXin)
