Development plan to boost cooperation

Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei synergy set to sustain industrial growth in the region

The Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei integrated development plan, a part of China's national strategies, has achieved tangible results since its inception five years ago and helped the government to redistribute resources and industries in the capital to nearby regions for better growth, a senior official said.

"For environmental improvement, transportation and industrial cooperation, we have achieved rapid growth in the past years under the guidance of the integrated development plan," said Liu Bozheng, deputy head of the Beijing coordinated development office, at a conference in Tongzhou, where Beijing's municipal government and other agencies sitting in a sub-city complex are located.
