With utmost sincerity, high-quality service, and maximum efficiency, the county is committed to safeguarding and assisting all entrepreneurs investing and establishing businesses in Anxi, ensuring that projects are launched, flourish, and yield results as early as possible. At the same time, Secretary Wu expressed hope that all entrepreneurs will continue to trust in Anxi, remain committed to its development, and contribute to its growth. He called on everyone to join hands, seize the opportunities in cultural and tourism development, and work together to create a bright future for Anxi’s cultural and tourism sector.
