On the morning of December 16, Guangzhou held a meeting with foreign consulates in Sui in 2025. Mayor Sun Zhiyang, head of the foreign consular delegation and Consul General of the Congo in Sui, Abelo Emmanuel attended and delivered speeches. Vice Mayor Hu Hao presided. Officials from the Consulates General of 65 countries in Sui attended the event. Sun Zhiyang warmly welcomed all the guests. He said that Guangzhou is the birthplace of the ancient Maritime Silk Road and a frontier of China's reform and opening up. It has a thousand years of urban heritage, a flourishing culture, and a prosperous business network, and has always stood at the forefront of China's foreign exchange and cooperation. With the support and witness of various countries' consular offices in Sui, more and more global enterprises and international friends are choosing Guangzhou to invest and develop businesses to pursue their dreams. Facing the “15th Five-Year Plan”, Guangzhou will promote reform and development through opening-up, concentrate efforts to strengthen and improve the “four core functions” of an international trade center, a national advanced manufacturing base, an important host for an international science and technology innovation center, and a comprehensive portal, expand a high level of openness to the outside world, and build a central world city with classical charm and the vitality of the times. Guangzhou greatly values its friendship with the consular offices of various countries in Sui, and is willing to share the development opportunities of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area with the rest of the world and work together for common development. We hope that consular offices in various countries will give full play to their broad advantages and role as a bridge and link, actively display Guangzhou's image, convey Guangzhou's voice, promote Guangzhou's opportunities, promote deepening cultural and economic and trade exchanges, and bring more tangible welfare to the peoples of all countries.
