The city's strategy to grow from a major seaport along the northeast coast of China to an international hub for Northeast Asia was approved by the central government and is now a part of national development plan.

This strategy has also won strong support from State leaders.

Before attending the Summer Davos meeting in Dalian underway today and tomorrow, Premier Wen Jiabao paid a visit to a construction site at Dalian Port on Sept 7.

Wen said that port construction dominates development in Dalian. All projects under construction should be carefully designed and planned and become first-class in the region.

Located on the southernmost tip of the Liaoning Peninsula, Dalian faces South Korea and Japan across the Yellow Sea. It is one of the largest ports in China and is well positioned to be a shipping center for Northeast Asia.

Dalian stands out for its geographic advantage, convenient transportation and open economy. As the ocean transportation gateway to northeast China, the city was among the 14 earliest cities in China opened to foreign investment. In recent years, utilized foreign direct investment in Dalian accounts for about a quarter of the total of northeast China.

The initiative to build Dalian into an international shipping center is also part of the nation's strategy to the revitalize aging industrial bases in northeast China.
