During today's "Guangzhou Night", I once again met with the leaders of Guangzhou. In November of this year, the Kyushu economic exchange delegation, in which the Fukuoka group is a key component, will visit Guangzhou to seek greater cooperation opportunities for both sides, he said.   

Fukuoka and Guangzhou have similarities; both the cities attach great importance on technological innovation. "During this Summer Davos, my priority is to promote the science and technology innovation development plan of Fukuoka".

When talking about the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, he said the Greater Bay Area construction strategy is an imaginative master plan as the region boasts great potentials. "The shipping industry is a key part for the Greater Bay Area, and Guangzhou, a port city similar to Fukuoka, will have greater room for development in the future under the Greater Bay Area development strategy".
