Park Kyung-cheol made a keynote speech at the Silk Road Maritime International Cooperation Forum, describing the progress that has been made in smart port construction and the development of Busan Port as well as the challenges and opportunities brought about by new AI technologies.
Busan Port will strengthen cooperation with Xiamen Port, hoping to set an example for other ports as well as shipping and logistics enterprises around the world, Park added.
Officials from ROK free economic zones spoke highly of Xiamen's environment and economic and social development. They all looked forward to cooperate with Xiamen in various fields.
China has decided to extend its visa waiver policy to ordinary passport holders from Canada and the United Kingdom starting from Feb 17.
Forty-one new port-of-entry duty-free shops have been established nationwide, with Xiamen Xiang'an International Airport, Xiamen Wutong Passenger Wharf, and Xiamen International Cruise Center included on the list.
