Moreover, Hainan will invite attendees to visit local medical industrial parks and beautiful villages to show its achievements in the previous 30 years since it became a special economic zone and new opportunities arising in this new era. It will make full use of its superior resources and unique culture to promote dishes and articles supplied at the BFA to become gifts in foreign affairs among significant participants.
