The Foreign Ministry and the People's Government of Henan Province will hold a promotion event here at 3:30 pm on April 13 (Friday) under the theme of "China in the New Era: Global Partnership, Wonderful Henan". State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi will deliver a speech. Party Secretary Wang Guosheng and Governor Chen Runer of Henan Province will also address the event. Representatives of foreign diplomats in China are invited to make remarks and interact with the audience.

    Henan is one of the most populous provinces in China with agriculture a pillar of its economy. It occupies an important place both in China's transportation network and in China's long history of civilization. At present, Henan is actively implementing the important strategic plans of the 19th CPC National Congress and leveraging its unique advantages to build a modern economic structure, step up opening-up, and participate fully in the Belt and Road Initiative. All these efforts will help build Henan into a new platform in the new era for inland provinces to open to the outside world. We believe that through this promotion event, you will see a colorful Henan with history meeting modernity.
