Chengdu and other major cities in western China are developing rapidly and have "great growth potential," says a senior executive with one of the world's leading chemical companies.
"We see great growth potential in Chengdu because it is one of the fastest growing cities in southwest China, and has great advantages in infrastructure, business environment and talents," Tony H.S. Su, president of DuPont Greater China, said in a recent written interview with Xinhua.
Su is attending the 2013 Fortune Global Forum in Chengdu, the capital city of southwest China's Sichuan province, from Thursday to Saturday.
The executive said Chengdu, named as one of the 13 emerging megacities in China in a 2012 report by the Economist Intelligence Unit, is developing into one of the powerhouses for China's sustainable development.
"I want to reiterate that DuPont is committed to contributing to Chengdu and Sichuan's growth through our science and technologies," Su said. "Working together we can help meet the challenges we all face now and will continue to face in the future, for a better and brighter future."
Sichuan's advantages in high-end materials industry, resources, R&D capabilities and manpower support make it an important economic and industrial base in the "Go-West" initiative of China, he said.
"As the capital of Sichuan Province, Chengdu has commercial operations and market prospects advantage, compared to similar cities in eastern China," Su said.
