Liu Xiaoming, governor of Hainan Province, said in his opening speech that for centuries, generations of Hainanese have crossed oceans, demonstrating boldness, tenacity and pioneering spirit.

Guangdong is willing to further strengthen communication and close cooperation with Hainan, injecting new impetus into the joint efforts of the two provinces to achieve a high level of openness and high-quality development.
Head of relevant department of Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council said construction of Hainan Free Trade Port is a new platform for China to share new opportunities with the world. This development will not only bring historic changes to Hainan’s economic and social development, but also provide broader cooperation space, superior development conditions and more diversified service guarantees for overseas Chinese, especially those of Hainanese origin.
