2015年CRI Hangzhou Gears up to Host 2016 G20 Summit

 

The venue¹ for hosting the 2016 G20 Summit lays alongside the beautiful West Lake in Hanghzou, in the eastern province of Zhejiang.

The location was initially² designed for international exhibitions and meetings, but has been upgraded in order to meet the needs of such a high level event as a G20 Summit.

Xue Xiaoyong, who is responsible for upgrading the venue, says crews are now working around the clock to finish the interior fitting and decorations.

"Its design and construction need to be adjusted to meet the Summit's requirements, such as the acoustic³ system of the meeting rooms, rest areas for leaders, and also the security system."

Hangzhou is famous for its beautiful scenery that attracts millions of tourists every year. It has also becoming the hotbed for China's Internet start-ups including the Internet giant Alibaba, which is headquartered in the city.

Yang Xiaoyong, with the Hangzhou City Commission of Economy and Information Technology, says hosting the G20 summit will help accelerate the development of the city's Internet industry.

"Hangzhou is planning to become a global hub for e-commerce, cloud computing⁴, and big data, as well as the Internet of Things. We will make the most out of the G20 Summit, and speed up this aspiration⁵."

Meanwhile, Liu Jun, an economic expert from East China Normal University says holding the G20 summit in a city like Hanghzou is in accordance with the current global economic backdrop, which gives great emphasis on internet businesses.

"Beijing and Shanghai have hosted many important international meetings. China wants to show different places to the world this time. I think the topics for next year's G20 Summit will be about global connectivity amid an open and innovative⁶ economic backdrop. As one of the leading cities of the Internet sector⁷ in China, Hangzhou is an ideal venue."

The ongoing⁸ Antalya summit has brought leaders from the world's major economies together to discuss strategies to boost global economic growth. Many leaders from the summit believe China is important for stability in the global economy and expect China can play a more constructive⁹ role.
