Since the beginning of this year, Guian New Area in Southwest China's Guizhou province has been focusing on its industrial development plans and achieved its investment attraction goal for the first quarter of this year.

From January to March, Guian signed agreements for 18 projects, including six projects involving electronic information manufacturing, advanced equipment manufacturing, new energy vehicles and new materials, one project involving the headquarters economy, seven projects involving big data and software services, and four projects involving other projects.

Electronic information manufacturing, advanced equipment manufacturing, new energy vehicles and new materials are considered as Guian's most important industries.

In the second quarter of this year, Guian will work to attract investment for companies to enhance industrial chains. Guian currently has 20 main projects under negotiation, with a total expected investment of 88.42 billion yuan ($13.6 billion).

To ensure the successful signing of the projects, Guian is relying on long-distance communications to complete its annual investment attraction goal.

The area will provide one-on-one services to help signed projects start construction or operation.

In the future, Guian will focus on investment attraction from central-government-owned enterprises, listed companies, and major companies involving its four main industries.
