The beginning of the new year
Heavy messages abound
Wuxi this treasure land
Brushed by foreign affairs activities!
Within a few days, the foreign ministers of six Middle Eastern countries visited China one after another, all in Wuxi, where the Sino-French Strategic Dialogue was held.
Wuxi, the "memory point", has also become the focus of heated discussion, and has been called "a Chinese city that has attracted the world's attention" in the past week.
At the beginning of 2022, China's first home diplomatic choice was held in Wuxi, which shows the city's energy level!
In fact, such a series of major foreign affairs activities of such a specification were held in Wuxi for the first time.
Not only is the visit high standard and long duration, but also the activities are intensive, the entry and exit of personnel is frequent, and the pressure of epidemic prevention and control is great.
In the face of the "difficult" mode, "novice" Wuxi not only held all of them, but also let "the world meet beautiful China in this city", handing over the high score answer sheet of the prefecture-level city to undertake foreign affairs activities!
It should be said
Such a result
For Wuxi, this is to be expected
Because
Select Wuxi
It's "just right"
Just right
Because she "Bo Gu Tong Jin"
Brick by brick, the century-old ritual order has been passed down.
Wuxi has had a strong diplomatic atmosphere since ancient times. There are traces to follow in this, starting from Xue Fucheng, a wuxi man.
He was a famous diplomat, thinker and representative of the early bourgeois reform faction in the late Qing Dynasty.
As a foreign minister of the Qing Dynasty, he successfully sent envoys to Britain, France, Italy, and Belgium. He let the world see the long-standing and profound Chinese culture, and also let the world see the style of diplomatic relations between major countries.
To this end, the Qing court specially gave the "Qin Envoy" a place to praise Xue Fucheng's historical merits.
The former residence of Xue Fucheng, the "Qin Envoy", has become an important place for people to understand the etiquette of foreign affairs. The council chamber of the former residence is the place where the owner of the house uses to discuss state affairs and receive foreign guests. Today's chambers are still furnished in accordance with foreign etiquette and foreign-related reception standards.
In the hall, a plaque of "Zhili Hongyi" is hung, and the couplet is: "Meritorious name to be painted Lingyun Pavilion; Xiao Han often hangs heliocentric".
Every year, tourists from all over the world come here to walk into Xue Fucheng's diplomatic life and understand the true meaning of diplomatic activities.
In Wuxi, you can see that from the depths of history, through hundreds of years of "peace is precious".
In Wuxi, we can see that Zhongzheng, Heya, self-improvement, tolerance and generosity are of character.
In Wuxi, we can see the open attitude of a city facing the world.
Starting from the former residence of Xue Fucheng, generations of Wuxi people have inherited the tradition of "opening their eyes to see the world", precipitating profound cultural heritage, and giving birth to an open and inclusive Wuxi culture.
At the moment when Wuxi embraces Taihu Lake, marches towards the Yangtze River, and sails out to sea, it imprints Wuxi's brilliant foreign affairs genes and cultural traditions, supporting Wuxi's greater future.
"Without opening up, there can be no internationalization and no modernization." The achievement of Wuxi's historical glory through opening up will certainly be the most crucial move to write a new chapter of modernization. ”
As Du Xiaogang, secretary of the Wuxi Municipal Party Committee, said that on the new journey of modernization, Wuxi will take the initiative to integrate into the new development pattern with the courage to be the first and the mind of the world, and further promote high-level institutional opening up in terms of international production capacity cooperation, foreign economic and trade cultural exchanges, and urban internationalization, and accelerate the construction of Wuxi in the world pattern.
There are friends from afar, and they are very happy.
Last month, an international sister city exchange event brought the world's attention to Wuxi.
At the 10th Wuxi International Sister Cities Exchange Conference and the 2021 Wuxi International Sister Cities Industry Docking Conference, friends from nearly 30 countries on five continents gathered in Yixing, Taodu.
Hand in hand to travel to Xicheng, raise a glass to chat about friendship, dock supply and demand to set up a platform...
In the context of the global epidemic, such an international event is particularly rare, and it also shows Wuxi's open attitude and determination and confidence in striding forward on the road of urban internationalization.
The pace of internationalization, Wuxi took a very early step.
As early as 1981, Wuxi made friends with the first international sister city, Akashi City, Japan.
Today, Wuxi has reached 50 pairs of international friendship cities approved by the All-China Friendship Association, in addition to more than 50 pairs of friendly exchange cities, and the number of them belongs to the "first echelon" nationwide.
These cities are spread across 44 countries on five continents, in addition to the United States, Japan and other countries that began to make friends earlier, Wuxi has continued to develop on the "Belt and Road", and has formed friendly relations with 17 cities in 16 countries along the route, and the international "circle of friends" has become stronger and stronger.
"Friends have more roads to go"
The proverb in this classic old song is fully reflected in wuxi's industrial internationalization in recent years.
From the Hongdou Group's Xigang Special Economic Zone in Cambodia, to the Sunshine Group's textile park in Adama, Ethiopia, to the Sino-Dutch Clean Technology Docking Center established by the Yixing Academy of Environmental Sciences and the Dutch province of North Brabant, Wuxi can be seen in all corners of the global industrial stage.
The recently held 2021 Wuxi International Sister Cities Industrial Docking Conference has brought out a number of international industrial platforms such as the Sino-Dutch big data industry platform and the "Deep Ploughing Friendship Xiwang Unlimited" international industrial docking platform, deeply linking Wuxi with the world.
The city's "circle of friends" covers five continents, and the city's "international fan" is increasingly bullish.

No matter how the times change, Wuxi, the pearl of Jiangnan, always maintains the same frequency resonance with the world.
What kind of city is Wuxi City?
It is neither the capital of a province nor a municipality or a special economic zone.
However, it has been standing shoulder to shoulder with a number of famous cities on various lists for many years.
In 2020, Wuxi's per capita GDP ranked first among trillion-level cities in the country;

Peace of mind 365 days a year

The citizens who received fraudulent calls from other places during the quarantine period will not forget the joint action of the police and epidemic prevention personnel at the police station to help her avoid being defrauded;
Residents of Dajishan Homestead will not forget the stolen property in their homes, and they will be lost and recovered without being taken out of the corridor by the suspect;
The farmers who grow celery in Wanshi Town were once worried about the harvest because of the outbreak of the epidemic, but they did not expect that after the unsealing, the "family members" in the city made efforts, and orders poured in...
Behind the "sudden" can also be safe, Wuxi continues to improve the modernization level of social governance system and governance capabilities, and actively build a "Wuxi model" for the modernization of urban social governance.
Comfort online in real time
Happiness is increasing: "micro-happiness" people's livelihood project special collection channels, special collection of people's worries, worries, citizens "out of the question", the government supervision response, the achievement of a wave of "small luck";
In the community and village, people have also seen leading cadres living in the front line, communicating with residents during their duty, listening to the most authentic demands and making the fastest responses, achieving waves of "intimate hearts".
Find the ambition of the stage
"There are new ways to play according to local conditions", "supporting industry planning is great", "there is Taihu Bay science and technology innovation belt", "first-class living facilities"...
People who come because of the "tin gravity" praise the city.

This one is the ultimate in prosperity and prosperity
Over here
It is the pearl of Taihu Lake
It is the city of trillions
It is the vanguard of reform and opening up
It is the benchmark of pioneering demonstration
When the Wuxi people shouted out
"Tread through thousands of mountains and rivers, eat all kinds of hardships,
Say a thousand words, go through all kinds of dangers."
Here is destined to be the birth of countless "firsts"
The first foreign-funded enterprise and the first listed enterprise in Jiangsu were born
The country's first 100 million yuan village, 100 million yuan town, and 100 million yuan township were born
……
It is the second city in China with an output value of more than 100 billion yuan in the integrated circuit industry, and the revenue of the Internet of Things industry accounts for about 1/4 of the country.
The "Strivers", which witnessed China's 10,000-meter deep diving record, were born here, and the Chinese supercomputer "Shenwei Taihu Light" was also busy running here.
She, high-speed rail, airport, in all directions.
Beijing-Shanghai, Shanghai-Nanjing, Huyi and other expressways are crisscrossed.
Jiangyin Port is thousands of miles away, and the river flows endlessly;
Sunan Shuofang International Airport helps the city take off.
Last year, Ruili Airlines soared, and wuxi embraced the world in a way that added more intimacy.
Do you know that Wuxi is the initiation point and connection point of many domestic industrial cycles, and it is also an important channel and important fulcrum point for international circulation.
In the process of taking the lead in forming a new development pattern in the Yangtze River Delta, Wuxi unswervingly implements the strategy of leading the industry to strengthen the city, focuses on promoting the coordinated development and innovation of cross-regional industries, and works together to build a world-class industrial cluster.

Wuxi innovation has never stopped, WuXi AppTec, Huawei, BYD... Countless innovative technology companies have taken root here.
After the changes of the times, Wuxi City has long been no longer the original appearance.
From Taibo Benwu to galloping rivers and seas, from industry to save the country to the villagers to get rich, here we have witnessed the hegemony of the king, and also witnessed the great cause of mortals.
Today, the city of attack is already changing with each passing day, and there are new changes every day.
However, what has not changed is that
The spirit of daring to try
Dare to be the first in the world
Perhaps, this is the reason why Wuxi is just right!
In the era of magnificent waves, Wuxi will surely resonate with the country and the times with higher quality international exchange functions, and create a "living room" that shows the confidence and unique charm of a big country, shining at both ends of the urban axis where ancient and modern are blended!
