Henan is one of the most populous provinces in China with agriculture a pillar of its economy. It occupies an important place both in China's transportation network and in China's long history of civilization. At present, Henan is actively implementing the important strategic plans of the 19th CPC National Congress and leveraging its unique advantages to build a modern economic structure, step up opening-up, and participate fully in the Belt and Road Initiative. All these efforts will help build Henan into a new platform in the new era for inland provinces to open to the outside world. We believe that through this promotion event, you will see a colorful Henan with history meeting modernity. We look forward to your attendance at and coverage of this event. 

The regular press conference of the Foreign Ministry will be adjourned on that day. You may still reach the Office of the Foreign Ministry Spokesperson by phone or fax.
