Foreign consultants help improve local government

In an effort to improve public services for foreign investors, officials in the city of Foshan are taking a new approach.

The city's foreign trade and economic cooperation bureau now has three foreign consultants in place, and more may be added in the near future, according to the bureau.

"We are adopting the optimal practice for promoting our investment climate," noted Zhou Zhitong, director-general of the bureau. "Our new team with foreign professionals is expected to maximize our outreach to foreign companies."
