SHANGHAIjammymonkeyslots, June 14 (Xinhua) -- An event featuring a dialogue between media journalists and the Party chief of Shanghai's Yangpu District was held on Friday.
The event gathered more than 30 journalists from Chinese and overseas media, including those from Türkiye, Italy, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
From Thursday to Friday, the journalists visited such locations as a sci-tech park and a residential community, gaining an understanding of the district's transition from an industrial rust belt to a livable area.
Since the beginning of the century, Yangpu District has deepened the integration of its university campuses, sci-tech parks and public communities, realizing its transition to an innovation-oriented district.
"We welcome more people to come to Yangpu and achieve greater success," said Xue Kan, Party chief of Yangpu District.
The Shanghai event, the first of a series of such events where journalists will meet Chinese mayors or Party chiefs across the country, was co-hosted by the All-China Journalists Association and the Shanghai municipal government's information office.■
