Work together for win-win results and paint a new picture of the business environment

How can Weihai-Korea trade go forward steadily and achieve a win-win future?

Combined with the local resource endowment, it has anchored the target to attract large and strong companies, targeted docking, and multi-party linkage to build platforms and channels, and has accurately and pragmatically promoted investment promotion to go deeper and more practical, and the business environment has been continuously optimized.

On the basis of expanding and strengthening the existing cooperation areas, more and more Korean companies are willing to work hand in hand with Weihai, choose Weihai in project investment, and recognize Weihai when deepening cooperation, so that Weihai's confidence and steps to accelerate high-quality opening up are extremely firm.

The Weihai Municipal Bureau of Commerce will continue to strengthen its responsibility, attach importance to service, and improve efficiency. It will be guided by the needs of enterprises and aim to improve the effectiveness of services. It will strive to create a business environment with faster policy delivery, better services, and more comprehensive factor guarantees, and use the "soft power" of the business environment to build a "hard support" for the high-quality development of the business economy.

The Weihai Pharmaceutical and Medical Device Industry Association will continue to promote the high-quality development of the pharmaceutical and medical device industry, enhance the competitiveness of the industry, promote industrial innovation and technological progress, and strengthen international cooperation to achieve the international development of the industry.
