Sadayuki spoke highly of Xiamen as an investment destination. As China's special economic zone, an important pivot city of the Maritime Silk Road and the starting point of China-EU freight railway, Xiamen is attractive to Japanese enterprises, he said. Sadayuki pledged to introduce the city to major Japanese shipping enterprises and encourage them to invest in Xiamen.
After the symposium, the Japanese delegation visited the Haitian Wharf in the Haicang district. They also cruised along the Lujiang River and had a distant view of the beautiful Gulangyu Island, which was rated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017.
The delegates said that the tight schedule in Xiamen helped them get a glimpse of the rapid economic development of Xiamen and its beauty as a garden city with perfect harmony between man and nature. They wish to visit Xiamen again in the future.
