24 March 2008 – Mr. Zhao Kezhi, Provincial Party Committee Member and Deputy Governor, along with Mr. You Qingzhong, Vice Director of Jiangsu Provincial Communications Department, Mr. Ding Dawei, Mayor of Rudong and other leaders visited Yangkou Port. During the visit, they took a boat ride to Sun Island.

Mr. Zhao emphasised, “Of the 960km of Jiangsu’s coastal line, only Rudong and Yangkou Port have the potential to become ports of a 300,000-tonne level. Rudong ought to first focus on its established goals. Only then can it accelerate the construction progress of the port. My findings on Yangkou Port’s construction will be promptly reported to the Provincial Committee and Government. I will fight for preferential policies in order to support Yangkou Port in its development.”
