The 2021 Hainan Free Trade Port (Sanya) Investment Promotion Forum for UK Enterprises was held in Sanya on July 27. A delegation composed of representatives from the UK Department for International Trade, the British Consulate-General Guangzhou and 20 UK companies visited Sanya and attended the forum in search of more investment opportunities at the Hainan FTP.

At the symposium, the Sanya investment promotion bureau introduced the policies of the Hainan FTP and investment opportunities in Sanya. The Sanya tourism, culture, radio, television and sports bureau focused on sharing Sanya's current tourism industry situation, and the Sanya modern service industrial park management committee recommended the Sanya Haitang Bay National Coastal Recreation Park as a lucrative investment.

Representatives from UK companies have conducted in-depth exchanges with relevant government departments, such as the Sanya municipal bureau of commerce and the Sanya municipal bureau of education, on the development of Sanya's industry and the employment and entrepreneurship of foreign personnel under the background of the Hainan FTP.

Deputy to Her Majesty's Trade Commissioner for China, Tom Duke, said that UK companies are very interested in the construction of the Hainan FTP and they fully understand Sanya's business environment and policy advantages through the visit. He expressed his hope for more cooperation in construction, creative and cultural fields, education, sports, health, and tourism.

Cai Haibao, deputy secretary-general of Sanya municipal people's government, pointed out that the UK and China have close cooperation in import and export trade, education, agriculture and scientific research. These cooperation areas are compatible with the construction of the Hainan FTP.

Cai expressed that Sanya will seize the opportunity of the Hainan FTP, insist on the project construction and continuously improve the business environment in the future.
