The work report and four drafts including Implementing Regulations of Provincial Overseas Chinese Union were discussed and passed during the Second Session of the Eighth Convention of Overseas Chinese Union Committee, which was held in Shenyang, Liaoning Province.

120 overseas committee members were invited to the Overseas Chinese Union, which never happened before. The overseas members are mainly from the United States, Japan and South Africa.

Most of them are famous leaders of local Overseas Unions and responsible persons of Overseas Chinese Organizations. They have many overseas resources on business, which will play an important role in developing friendship, culture, and communication in business and economy between Liaoning Province and abroad.

Gaopeng, deputy chairman of the Political Consultative Conferences in Liaoning Province and minister of United Front Work Department in Provincial Committee, was present at the meeting, gave a speech and issued letters of appointment to those overseas members.

This year, the Overseas Chinese Union will continue to work on coastal economic development of Liaoning Province, build a bridge between overseas and regions to communicate on business and economy, coordinate with the government in attracting investments and help companies in Liaoning Province develop abroad.
