| Work Detail | In the China-Czech-Slovak Friendship Farm in Cangzhou, Hebei, two modern buildings featuring exotic atmosphere are rather conspicuous, which is exactly the main hall of Czech Republic and Slovakia at Shanghai World Expo. After the conclusion of the Expo, these two national pavilions and the exhibits were moved to the farm permanently. Such an arrangement is attributable to the profound friendship achieved 60 years ago. In 1956, Czechoslovakia then donated 670 agricultural machines with the capacity of cultivating 7000 hectares of land to China. In order to commemorate the friendship between countries, China built a farm at the Bohai Bay in Cangzhou, Hebei to arrange these machines and Premier Zhou Enlai named it as "Sino-Czech Bilateral Friendship Farm". Over the past 60 years, China-Czech-Slovak Friendship Farm has maintained friendly cooperation with Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland and other CEE countries. Though Bilateral Friendship Farm has transformed into a new industrial park from an international cooperative state-owned land-reclamation enterprise and was renamed as Cangzhou Bohai New District Zhong Jie Industrial Zone in 2007, the title of China-Czech-Slovak Friendship Farm has been still remained. In recent years, in response to the general trend of accelerated Sino-CEE economic and trade cooperation, China-Czech-Slovak Friendship Farm has taken advantage of unique foreign resources, speeded up efforts to butt with CEE countries and positive contributions to accelerating construction of the "One Belt and One Road" and Sino-CEEC "16+1" Cooperation Platform. In Sino-Czech Aviation Academy Co., Ltd., two small aircrafts attracted the attention of many visitors. "These two small aircrafts were purchased for training after China-Czech-Slovak Friendship Farm and Czech Republic FIRE came into cooperation", according to Chen Gaofeng, general manager of Sino-Czech Aviation Academy Co., Ltd. In 2015 CEE "16+1" Conference, the industrial zone concluded a cooperation agreement with Czech Republic Fair to build Sino-Czech Aviation Academy and develop a high-end training base integrating flight, maintenance, operation and management. At present, the general airport project has been under construction and is expected to be put into operation in early 2017. "Czech Republic possesses advanced flight technology and teaching experience, while China has an extensive market. Thus, cooperation between two countries will lead to a win-win result. We expect to recruit 30-50 trainees at each phase and about 300 aviators will be cultivated", said Chen Gaofeng. In 2015, China-Czech-Slovak Friendship Farm was approved to set up Sino-Euro Industrial Park to coordinate projects with CEE countries and constantly expand the exchange and cooperation with CEE countries. Though established for only one year, it has shown strong development momentum. Up to now, the zone has signed contracts for many cooperative projects regarding general aviation, high-end manufacturing, alcohol product cooperation, commercialization of research outcomes and investment attraction agency, with total investment amount surpassing RMB 30 billion yuan. For instance, Nitra Manor that was constructed by cooperation with Slovakia and has been put into service, covers an area of 1000mu and is designed with annual production capacity of 600t and the cellar's storage capacity is 150t. The Nitra Beer House covering a land of 50mu has been put into production to make beer by making use of technology, process, raw materials and devices of Czech Republic with an annual production capacity of above 700t. According to Lv Zhenhua, secretary of the party committee and director of the management committee of Zhong Jie Industrial Zone, in the future, Sino-Euro Industrial Park will make full utilization of the "16+1" cooperative mechanism to further bring forth new ideas for the "synergetic development of park and zone" and carry out project investment sharing on the basis of expanding the zone and introducing a batch of enterprises of different ownership and projects. In addition, Sino-Euro Industrial Park will further efforts to speed up the construction of CEE Technology Transfer Center, proactively promote cooperation in power laboratory between Vinnytsia National Technical University and Ukrainian State University of Chemical Technology and develop such scientific research platforms as "Sino-Ukraine New Energy Technology and Application Innovation Center". Moreover, the zone will also make efforts to establish CEE enterprise development funds by joint efforts with Tusholdings to boost rapid development of Sino-Euro Industrial Park. Cangzhou Sino-Czech Chenggong International Trade Incubation Center mainly renders services for docking between enterprises in Hebei and high-quality projects of CEE countries and is a comprehensive trade industry incubation platform. In spite of its establishment for only 2 months, the center has achieved nearly RMB 5 million of business revenue and seen successful docking of many high-quality projects, in which the electric bus, fire-fighting robot and other high-tech projects have caused great concern at home and abroad. Moreover, the center is making active efforts to negotiate such international projects entrusted as TATRA truck (Czech Republic) and AIRON Poland wind power electricity generation project. "The most significant role of the center is incubation rather than simple buying and selling transactions. The center will serve as a bridge to market representative industries of China and Hebei overseas and follow up international trend and track the later progress constantly", said Li Zhenwei, president of Sino-Czech Chenggong. "The trade cooperation between China-Czech-Slovak Friendship Farm and CEE countries has seen satisfactory outcomes, but it is far from enough. In the future, China-Czech-Slovak Friendship Farm will make full use of the existing Zhongjie High-tech Industrial Development Zone, Sino-Euro Industrial Park and other foreign cooperation platforms in an effort to deepen industrial connection and project cooperation with CEE countries and add 'fuel' for Sino-CEE trade cooperation," said Lv Zhenhua. |
