Deqing, a scenic county in Zhejiang province, is going all out to be fully prepared for the upcoming United Nations World Geospatial Information Congress, slated to open from Nov 19 to 21.

So far, over 90 percent of the construction work for the facilitation of the congress, such as an international conference center and an exhibition hall, has been completed, the congress' organizing committee said on Friday. Saturday marks the 100-day countdown before the opening of the meeting.

"Currently, we are sparing no effort to ensure the international conference center - the main venue for the congress - be completed and pass the project check and acceptance before Aug 25," said Jiang Zuanwei an official with the local bureau of construction.
