During the meeting with guests from Hunan Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong (HCCHK), Zhang said that Hunan is adjacent to Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, and the economic and trade communication between Hong Kong and Macao is becoming increasingly intimate.

Then in the meeting with Martin Khor, executive director of South Center, Secretary Zhang Chunxian said that the approval of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan city cluster as China’s pilot zone for ‘Two-oriented’ society construction is a precious opportunity for Hunan to strengthen itself and enrich the people, as well as a grand mission for Hunan in this new era, which will facilitate Hunan to open up a new road featured by new-type urbanization, new-type industrialization, industrialization of agriculture, as well as resource-conservation and environment-friendliness. During the construction of “Two-oriented’ society, Hunan needs to draw upon successful experience home and abroad and avoid mistakes. Besides, it is very necessary to take a broad vision and base itself on the modern notion of development to plan for the development of the city cluster. The South Center is an international inter-governmental organization set up by developing countries. Hunan is hoping for an intensified cooperation with the South Center in such fields as carbon emission, environmental treatment, etc. Martin Khor said that economic development and environmental protection are two themes of the current society. The construction of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan city cluster as China’s pilot zone for ‘Two-oriented’ society construction will definitely provide valuable experience for the ‘Two-oriented’ society (resource-saving and environment-friendly society) construction in China as well as the whole world, said Martin Khor. The South Center promises to enhance cooperation with Hunan in capital and technology introduction, and offer platform to communicate the experience of ‘Two-oriented’ society construction among developing countries.
