"Hello everyone, I am Hu Haiwen from Switzerland. I work as an international economic and political consultant. I really enjoy going to Liangmaqiao in Beijing where I once worked for a while. The riverbanks are lit up at night, making it a beautiful place to take a walk. You can stroll from Liangmaqiao all the way to the bar street, western restaurants, cafes and grand hotels."

"I first came to Beijing in 2006. Within less than two decades, Beijing’s development has been truly impressive. In the past, there were only a few shopping malls where you could buy imported goods. Now you can find all sorts of western food. More and more mini-programs are accepting international passports for login, making life in Beijing increasingly convenient for foreigners."

More and more foreigners like Hu Haiwen come to Beijing to work and live, witnessing the construction of Beijing as the center for international exchanges and the magnificent picture of China’s “promoting high-standard opening-up”.

Beijing stands at the core of major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics, and serves as the foremost stage for head-of-state diplomacy of the new era. It is also a vital gateway for China’s opening up and international cooperation. In order to serve the high-quality development of the capital, Beijing continues various programs to promote opening up services, including improving quality services for head-of-state diplomatic activities, facilitating the establishment and registration of international organizations, improving the environment for international exchagne of personnel, and supporting international talents to work and start their own business in here. With dedication and vigor, Beijing is committed to setting the standard for excellence and improving the government’s world-class services.

Beijing’s steady improvement and high-quality development of constructing the center for international exchanges demonstrate its unwavering commitment to be more and more open as the “international exchanges reception hall”. Once just a blueprint, this vision of high-level opening up has now become a reality. Beijing is dedicated to implementing the guiding principles of the 20th National Congress of the CPC. It aims to become a “model capital” of high-quality development through high-level opening up. This endeavor aims to open new ground for major-country diplomacy with Chinese characteristics in the new era, and promote the development of a community with a shared future for mankind. Beijing is ready to shoulder the capital’s responsibilities and contribute to this noble cause.
