“I’m going to buy more (honey) to take back home. You know, we Mexicans love honey. It can not only add sweetness to our lives but also cure minor ailments like sore throats. Everything here makes me feel at home.” A journalist from Mexico’s Milenio expressed her excitement and bought Miyun’s honey through the newly learned mobile payment method.
On August 9th, the Beijing Foreign Affairs Office and Miyun District jointly organized 76 foreign journalists from 66 countries, including Brazil, Russia, Thailand, and Saudi Arabia, to visit Miyun and experience Beijing’s achievements in implementing the General Secretary’s instructions on the importance of ecological conservation, promoting high-quality green development, and powering regional economic development with technological innovation and distinctive industries.
Miyun District serves as Beijing’s ecological conservation area, as well as an area for collaborative regional ecological governance, a national demonstration area for ecological conservation, and a demonstration area for the integrated and innovative development of the local culture, tourism and the leisure industry. In recent years, guided by overall planning, Miyun has been accelerating the development of a comprehensive development landscape featuring a strategic development belt for sci-tech innovation and life health, four distinctive cultural tourism and leisure belts, as well as several towns and industries with unique local features.
At Beijing Beilu Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., the first thing that amazed foreign journalists was the dynamism generated by technological innovation for regional development. Beilu is a national high-tech company engaged in the R&D, production, and sales of pharmaceutical products which are exported to countries as faraway as Peru, Pakistan, Costa Rica, and Chile. The journalists listened attentively to the introduction on the company’s history and management. Showing a great interest in the company’s products and overseas presence, some journalists even started interviewing and shooting on the spot. Many of them expressed their eagerness to use media as a bridge to facilitate international cooperation between Beilu and relevant industries in their home countries.
