Shanghai: Coo Liansoong, President of China Trust Financial Holding Co Ltd, took the Silport experience when a group of influential Taiwanese businessmen in the fields of commerce and industry visited Shanghai during a four-day stay.

At the invitation of the Shanghai Metropolitan Industry & Economy Association, the 50 businessmen arrived in the city on October 14th. All the group members were part of the “3-3-Club,” the biggest industrial union in Taiwan. Its membership consists of corporations whose sales are greater than 20 billion New Taiwan dollars (US$635 million) annually. Most of the member companies have investment in the Chinese mainland.

Luo Shiqian, Deputy Secretary of the Shanghai Government, and Feng Guoqing, Shanghai Vice Mayor, hosted a banquet for the tourists. Luo said he believed that economic ties between Shanghai and Taiwan would continue to grow closer, meeting the demands of Shanghai’s economic development. Meanwhile, all departments and ministries under the Shanghai Government would make continuous effort to create a better investment environment for Taiwanese investors. He wished that all the business tourists could provide helpful advice and suggestions to improve the economic ties between the two.

Coo also attended the opening ceremony of the Chinatrust Hotel in Kunshan, a facility that was invested by CTFH. During his afternoon at Silport, he played golf with the chief of the Taiwanese Association in Kunshan, Lin Bofeng. He said he felt very pleased to tee off with a Taiwan entrepreneur and expressed his appreciation of the Silport layout. He said if he had the chance to visit Shanghai next time, he would surely visit Silport again.
