He said the city will implement the 24 pro-foreign investment measures put forward by the State Council in August as well as provincial and municipal measures to help foreign-funded enterprises reduce costs and increase efficiency.
It will also shorten the negative list on foreign investment access and expand market access for foreign investment.
"We will ensure national treatment for foreign-funded enterprises and promote the implementation of Dalian's regulations on the promotion of foreign investment to protect the rights and interests of foreign investors in accordance with the law," Chen said.
The city will attract and utilize foreign capital with greater intensity, providing infrastructure, science and technology, finance, data, personnel and other factors to facilitate the establishment of iconic foreign-funded projects, he said.
"In June, Dalian will host the 15th Annual Meeting of the New Champions (also known as the Summer Davos Forum)," he said.
"We'll present vivid practice to advance the full revitalization of Northeast China in the new era and Dalian's good image of high-quality development, and share opportunities with the world."
