To thoroughly implement the content of the deepened strategic cooperation agreement between the COSCO SHIPPING Group and the Hainan Provincial Government, a delegation led by Chairperson Qian Weizhong of COSCO SHIPPING (Hong Kong), Chairperson Wang Ran of Hainan Harbor & Shipping Holdings, and President Zhu Changyu of COSCO SHIPPING (Hong Kong), visited the Danzhou Municipal Government on November 6. They held discussions with Chen Yang, Mayor of Danzhou City and Director of the Yangpu Management Committee.

Chen Yang extended a warm welcome to Qian Weizhong and the delegation, acknowledged the achievements made by the COSCO SHIPPING Group through its long-term presence in Danzhou Yangpu and its contributions to the construction of the Hainan Free Trade Port, and highlighted the latest progress in the integrated development of Danzhou Yangpu. He stated that Danzhou Yangpu is currently anchoring its positioning as a "Dual-Way, Dual-Hub Port," accelerating the connection to the global network, deepening open system innovations, and speeding up the construction of a modern logistics system compatible with independent custom operation. He expressed hope that COSCO SHIPPING would further increase its investments in Danzhou in line with the industrial positioning and development direction of Danzhou Yangpu, to achieve win-win cooperation and development. The Danzhou Municipal Government will further improve its support mechanisms, coordinate and resolve issues of mutual concern, continuously optimise the business environment, and provide comprehensive support for COSCO SHIPPING's investment and development in Danzhou Yangpu.

Qian Weizhong expressed gratitude for the long-standing support and assistance from the Danzhou Municipal Government and introduced the Group's business layout in Hainan and the functional positioning of the Group's Hainan Regional Headquarters. He stated that the COSCO SHIPPING Group has consistently regarded Danzhou Yangpu as a core front for deeply participating in the construction of the Free Trade Port, not only helping to continuously increase port route networks but also driving the continuous upgrade of logistics supply chain service levels, with remarkable results. As the next step, the Group's Hainan Regional Headquarters will implement the requirements of the deepened strategic cooperation agreement signed by both parties on October 10, take the lead in coordinating the Group's resources in Hainan, fully leverage its professional shipping advantages, and make every effort to promote the effective implementation of the deepened strategic cooperation agreement between the Hainan Provincial Government and the COSCO SHIPPING Group. This will further enhance the comprehensive service capacity of Yangpu Port, deeply explore new strategic opportunities for the integration of port and industry, and support Danzhou Yangpu with practical measures in building an international shipping hub for the New Western Land-Sea Corridor, a "model zone" for Free Trade Port construction, and a "third pole" for Hainan's high-quality development.

Wang Ran and Zhu Changyu exchanged in-depth views on issues related to the development of Yangpu Port.
