Beijing welcomed over one hundred foreign talents and representatives of related work units for a gathering to celebrate the New Year and foster friendship at the Aerotropolis Economic Zone of the Beijing Daxing International Airport on Jan 26. From some 30 countries including the United States, Canada and Germany, the foreign expats are working in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.

The foreign talents visited the China Bio-medicine Park, the Daxing International Hydrogen Energy Demonstration Zone and the free trade zone innovation service center in Daxing district.

Through the visit, they gained a better understanding about the open, innovative and efficient environment of Beijing, were impressed by the vitality of science and technology innovation of the international city, and appreciated the unique charm of traditional Chinese medicine and tea culture.

During the gathering, the Beijing Overseas Talents Center and China Daily jointly released "A Guide for Expats to Work in Beijing" brochure and the "Work Service Directory for Foreign Talents in Beijing" web page.

The guide provides information and guidance to aid foreign talents working in Beijing.

Moving forward, the Beijing Overseas Talents Center plans to distribute promotional brochures of the service guide at key locations frequented by foreign talents arriving in Beijing, such as airports and high-speed railway stations. It aims to ensure that foreign talents have access to essential resources upon their arrival in the city.

The release of the service guide underscores Beijing's commitment to enhancing its innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, and further solidifying its position as an attractive destination for global talents.

Officials from the Daxing district, the Office of Foreign Affairs of the Beijing Municipal People's Government, and the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Talent Work also attended the event.
