Tangshan city hopes to attract Singapore investments

The city of Tangshan in northern China is seeking to attract foreign investments, and a delegation is in Singapore to draw interest in areas such as ports, energy and water processes.

Thirteen Singapore businesses have already invested a total of S$250 million in this northern Chinese city, which has seen rapid economic progress in recent years.

And Tangshan has embarked on a new coastal development - the Cao Fei Dian district - which will bank on the city's natural advantage in ports, ship-building, energy and logistics.

Tangshan's officials said Singapore's experience in these industries can help catalyse Cao Fei Dian's progress.
