Jilin remains an excellent place to invest, and we are currently looking for more opportunities to work with Japanese companies, as well as providing opportunities for Japanese firms and individuals to invest and start businesses here, said Bayanqolu.

The province will enact more preferential policies and better services for companies and professionals, he added.
