Dalian is making significant strides in establishing itself as a modern coastal city, with the ocean playing a central role in its identity and future. Chen Shaowang, deputy secretary of the Communist Party of China's Dalian Municipal Committee and mayor of the city, emphasized this vision during an interview with CGTN's Guan Xin.
The recent World Economic Forum's Annual Meeting of the New Champions held in Dalian brought together global leaders to explore the future of ocean cities. Mayor Chen highlighted how the event provided a platform for participants to collaborate and innovate on sustainable coastal development, reinforcing Dalian's commitment to embracing its maritime heritage while pursuing modern urban advancements.
As Dalian continues to develop its coastal infrastructure and promote maritime industries, the city aims to become a key player in global discussions on sustainable urbanization and oceanic economies. The collaboration and ideas exchanged at the WEF summit are set to propel Dalian towards a thriving, ocean-centric future.
