Xiamen, Fujian province was officially granted membership of the United Cities and Local Government (UCLG) at the 2017 UCLG World Council meetings held from Dec 6-9 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang province.
Kong Suting, an official with the Xiamen Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, took part in the event.
Founded in 2004, the Barcelona-headquartered UCLG represents and defends the interests of local governments on the world stage, regardless of the size of the communities they serve.
Being granted UCLG membership will help Xiamen develop further exchanges with foreign countries and boost its profile on the international stage.
China has launched a new pilot program to allow eligible enterprises greater access to overseas financing in support of green and low-carbon transformation projects, the country's foreign exchange regulator said on Aug 21.
To further streamline the experience, China is expanding tax refund stores, broadening the range of refundable goods, and refining refund procedures, ensuring an efficient and seamless shopping experience for global visitors.
