He said Shanghai is of strategic importance to the economic development of China's eastern region and the country as a whole. The city should take the opportunity to speed up its development. Shanghai should try to upgrade its international competitiveness and develop a modern service sector, Wen said. It should play a leading role in the region in terms of seeking development. With an export-orientation, Shanghai should further its opening up policies and make full use of foreign capital. Shanghai should strengthen its environmental protection and pollution treatment while pursuing sustainable development, Wen said. He added the city should work to attract professionals. In particular, a sound environment should be created for Chinese students studying abroad to start up businesses.
