The 2020 Qingdao Land · Sea Linkage Seminar was held in Qingdao, East China's Shandong province, on Aug 8.

The seminar invited companies involved in inland port business and modern services from nine provinces (areas) and provincial capital cities along the Yellow River, and five member cities of the Jiaodong Economic Circle.

Taking the "East-West two-way economic cooperation and the linkage between the land and sea" as its main topic, the seminar aimed to create a new pattern of opening-up in which the land and the sea interact.

Shandong Port Group (SPG), a sponsor of the event, joined with Qingdao Customs, Jinan Customs, and the Shanghai-based China Financial Futures Exchange and other enterprises to launch the enterprise cooperation mechanism.

With the help of the cooperation mechanism, SPG will play a key role as a platform that gathers resources and jointly builds an opening-up platform with cooperative enterprises.

"In fact, the platform relies on SPG to conduct 'East-West two-way economic cooperation and the linkage between the land and sea' in provinces and capital cities along Yellow River," said Wang Ming, an official from the National Development and Reform Commission.
