Shanghai Municipal Party Secretary Chen Jining met with Emmanuel Grimaldi, President of the International Chamber of Shipping, and his delegation this afternoon (April 3).
Chen Jining said that as China’s economic center and the front window of reform and opening up, Shanghai is making every effort to promote high-quality development, deepen high-level reform and opening up, and accelerate the construction of an international economic, financial, trade, shipping and scientific and technological innovation center in accordance with the grand blueprint of Chinese path to modernization drawn at the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. The development philosophy of the International Chamber of Shipping is in line with the goal of building an international shipping center in Shanghai, and the cooperation space between the two sides is very broad. We hope to establish a solid docking mechanism and expand cooperation areas on the basis of existing good cooperation, support Shanghai’s integration into the international shipping governance system, work together to promote the green, low-carbon, and intelligent development of shipping, and help improve the level of high-end shipping services. Welcome to the 3rd North Bund International Shipping Forum, where you can delve into the development of the shipping industry on this open platform. We will make every effort to create a market-oriented, rule of law, and international first-class business environment, providing comprehensive service guarantees for the implementation and operation of enterprises, institutions, and projects.
Emmanuel Grimaldi said that in January of this year, the Shanghai based China Shipowners Association became an official member of the International Chamber of Shipping, which is a historic moment. Shanghai is the international shipping capital, with a strong foundation and enormous potential for the development of the shipping industry. We hope to deepen cooperation and docking in expanding shipping functions, promoting green and low-carbon development, and participating in international shipping governance, playing an active role in hosting the 3rd North Bund International Shipping Forum, and contributing greater strength to the construction of Shanghai International Shipping Center.
