On September 15, Party Secretary Zhou Bin presided over the second meeting of the 2025 World Coastal Forum Executive Committee, emphasizing the implementation of Xi Jinping's Thought on Ecological Civilization and provincial deployment requirements to ensure the forum’s success. Acting Mayor Yan Hanping attended.

Zhou Bin emphasized the need to further highlight distinctive features, showcase more Yancheng elements, and make good use of golden calling cards such as the World Natural Heritage site, International Wetland City, and Zero-Carbon Park, to comprehensively demonstrate Yancheng’s active exploration in deeply practicing the “Two Mountains” concept, expanding the pathways for realizing the value of ecological products, and accelerating the comprehensive green transition of economic and social development. Efforts should be intensified in publicity and promotion by leveraging the full media matrix to conduct multi-perspective and multi-format publicity. The implementation of outcomes should be promoted by deepening cooperation with international organizations, planning important results such as consensus initiatives, and attracting high-quality enterprises and projects with landmark and leading significance. The comprehensive effects of the forum should be amplified by vigorously expanding models like “forum + cultural tourism” and “forum + consumption,” continuously deepening extensive exchanges and practical cooperation with the international community, and striving to build an important window showcasing China’s achievements in ecological civilization construction and a key platform for promoting international exchanges and cooperation in global ecological civilization.

Municipal leaders Chen Weihong, Wang Lianchun, Xie Jibu, Ding Cheng, and Huang Zhenggui participated.
