Zhuhai takes lead in push for innovation, high-level economic growth

Zhuhai, a major coastal city in South China's Guangdong province, which has long been at the forefront of China's opening-up and reform, has vowed to develop its capacity to innovate to achieve a high-quality economic growth, said a senior city official.

"Zhuhai will undertake its responsibility in regional growth by implementing an innovation-driven development strategy and speeding up the construction of an innovative industry cluster to create a 'new Zhuhai' with new economic drivers and a better living environment," said Guo Yonghang, Party chief of Zhuhai, at a welcome speech for the fourth China-Israel Investment Summit on Monday.

The city hosted the summit on Monday and Tuesday to strengthen cooperation and communication between Chinese and Israeli businesses. The event, which has been held in Zhuhai for the past two years, plays a vital role in demonstrating the city's atmosphere for innovation and ability to attract premium innovative projects, according to government officials.
