Shandong province will participate in Expo 2017 Astana from Sept 6 to 8 as part of "Shandong Week" to showcase the province’s innovations in the energy sector, as well as share its experience in energy utilization and technological development to enhance cooperation with countries involved in the Belt and Road Initiative.

The news was announced during a press conference held for a special press tour by Asian media organizations by the head of Shandong Council for the Promotion of International Cooperation in Shandong’s capital city Jinan on July 3.

Expo 2017 Astana, with a theme of "Energy of the Future", kicked off on June 10 and will end on Sept 10. There are 115 countries and 20 international organizations participating in the event.

Shandong province will take full advantage of the expo platform to boost economic and trade cooperation, as well as to promote business negotiations and cultural exchanges.

According to an implementation plan released by the province, Shandong Week will be mainly composed of three parts: activities, exhibitions and performances.

The event is expected to hold more than 10 major activities and several supporting activities in Astana and Almaty, including a promotional fair for B&R cooperation, the “All Products in Shandong” activity, the Shandong Tourism Cooperation Conference, and the International Construction Materials and the Kazbuild Exhibition.

In addition, Shandong Week will highlight the characteristics of Shandong’s most promising cities. The last two days of Shandong Week will be designated Qingdao Day and Dongying Day, to showcase Qingdao's functions as a hub city and Dongying’s rising reputation as an oilfield city.

As a warm-up activity for Shandong Week, the province held a special event for media organizations from South, Southeast and Central Asia to visit Shandong from June 3 to 8.

During the week-long event, journalists and reporters were shown some of Shandong’s most promising businesses involved in solar power, wind power, oil equipment manufacturing, wine making and heavy-truck production and assembly in three Shandong cities –– Jinan, Dongying and Yantai; allowing the visitors to learn more about the industrial and economic development of Shandong.
