On April 9, Xue Kan, Secretary of the CPC Yangpu District Committee, hosted a meeting with Allan Melgaard, Global CEO and Co-Founder of Scan Global Logistics (SGL) and his delegation. They had a detailed discussion on ways to enhance cooperation, expand opening up, and stabilize foreign trade. Also present were Ni Bing, Member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Yangpu District Committee and Executive Deputy Head of Yangpu District; Rickard Ingvarsson, CEO for Asia at SGL; and Fang Junjie, Managing Director of SGL Greater China.

Xue warmly welcomed Allan Melgaard and his delegation. He highlighted that SGL has been a major player in international logistics services, enjoying robust growth and a bright market outlook. Yangpu has also made significant strides in digital trade and cross-border e-commerce in recent years, and the partnership between the district and the enterprise is well-established. Given the current complex and volatile international trade landscape, he encouraged SGL to stay confident and expand its business presence in Yangpu. By aligning with the district's industrial needs, SGL can help local enterprises venture overseas and connect with top-notch global resources. This will not only boost the regional economy but also invigorate the international shipping sector, leading to mutual benefits through deeper cooperation. Yangpu will remain committed to high-standard opening up, improving the business environment, and making the district more attractive to foreign investment. It will continue to offer comprehensive support to ensure the success of foreign-funded enterprises.

Allan Melgaard extended his heartfelt thanks for Yangpu's robust backing in policy services, talent housing, and resource platform construction. He noted that since entering the Chinese market, SGL has been an eyewitness to the swift progress of China's economic and social sectors. The Chinese market now stands as a vital cornerstone of SGL's global strategy. With unwavering confidence in China's market potential, SGL plans to ramp up its investments in the country. It aims to collaborate closely with Yangpu to drive significant advancements in logistics efficiency and trade facilitation, forging a win-win future for both sides.
