A delegation of 12 people made up of presidents from 10 state-owned enterprises reviewed the facilities of the service outsourcing talent training center at the Huaqiao International Service Business Park on November 5.

Guan Aiguo, Mayor of Jiangsu’s Kunshan, who also invited them to invest in Huaqiao and set up their headquarters, told the group in detail about the training methods and ideas used for the training center.

The delegation toured Suhao International Square, which is still under construction. Development of the Square has been invested by Jiangsu Suhao International Group Holding Co Ltd, a leader of the silk industry in Jiangsu province. Sha Weiping, president of the company, said he was pleasantly surprised to see the changes.

“In 2007, there was just an endless farmland. Even the statutory plans were outlined on the map. And now great changes have occurred. Huaqiao has turned into a modern community with convenient transportation and graceful environment, which proves our correct choice,” said Sha.

The delegation groups also included Jiangsu Guoxin Investment Group Limited, a state-owned investment company, and Jiangsu Overseas Group Co Ltd, a large-scale enterprise incorporating import and export trades, industry investment and the modern services industry.

Being the biggest manufacturing base in Yangtze River Delta Region, Kunshan built the Huaqiao International Service Business Park in Huaqiao near Shanghai, as its main battlefield in constructing “Financial Silicon Valley”. It is notable for having “the geographical advantage of the Shanghai region, the policy advantage of Jiangsu Province, and the advantage of low cost in Kunshan”.
