Groundbreaking of the China-Saudi International Cooperation Industrial Park!

On April 16, 2025, as the key investment and construction project of Land Group in Changshu, groundbreaking ceremony of the 2025 Jiangsu key service industry project – China-Saudi International Cooperation Industrial Park, was successfully held. Participants include Yu Wei, secretary of Changshu Municipal Party Committee, Wang Jianguo, member of the Standing Committee of Changshu Municipal Party Committee and secretary of the Party Working Committee of Changshu High-tech Zone, Yousef, representative of Saudi Aramco, and Ye Feng, chairman of Land Group. Other participants include relevant officials of Changshu High-tech Zone, and over 40 China-Saudi enterprise representatives.

The project has a total investment of RMB 650 million, covers an area of 65,800 square meters, and will build 100,000 square meters high-quality headquarters of trade, production, R&D, conference and exhibition. As the entity platform for strategic docking of “the Belt and Road” and Saudi “2030 Vision”, this project is selected as one of the “2025 Suzhou Key projects”, and selected together with Land MOBO Center (Saudi Center) as “2025 Jiangsu Key Service Industry Projects”. Land Group will treat the China-Saudi International Cooperation Industrial Park as a supporting point, and promote the in-depth integration of China-Saudi industrial chains and the building of Saudi community and cultural center. Meanwhile Land Group will interact with Saudi Center to form a “dual-core driven” pattern, and provide strong engine to the integration of Changshu and even the Yangtze River Delta into “the Belt and Road” construction.

Driven by the “trade + industry” dual wheels, the park will integrate full ecological functions such as cross-border trade, joint R&D, investment service, conference and exhibition, be dedicated to building a bridge for China-Saudi two-way enablement – also a “trade silk road” for China’s enterprises to reach the Middle East, and provide hub carriers for Saudi and even global high-quality enterprises to settle in Changshu. 

Ye Feng, chairman of Land Group, expressed that Changshu is one of the dual headquarters of Land Group, and the understanding and trust of Changshu government on us is Land’s biggest motivation and confidence. Over the 8 years’ cooperation with Changshu government, the group has engaged in industrial positioning, planning design and construction and operation of 11 parks with total areas of over 1 million square meters, and the direct investments and investments for attracting and settling enterprises has reached a total of over RMB 10 billion. Together with international giants Baidu and Siemens, the group built two digital technology enterprises in Changshu, one is a joint venture with Baidu, and the other is a cooperative company authorized by Siemens. Moreover, Land Group continuously deepens local cooperation and industrial upgrade. “Go alone to be fast, but go together to go far”, in the near future, we expect to hear not only the continuous horn of cargo ships at Changshu port, but also the surging echo of Red Sea waves. 

Taking the opportunity of strategic docking of “the Belt and Road” advocacy and Saudi “2030 Vision”, Land Group officially launched the Middle East strategic layout in 2023, and signed cooperation memorandum with King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) to co-build “China-Saudi dual centers” system. As a key supporting point of this system, the Saudi Center project launched construction in Changshu in 2023, currently the overall construction progress reached 70%, and the Saudi Center unveiling ceremony is planned to be held recently. 

*This project innovatively builds five function matrices including trade center, investment promotion center, cultural tourism exchange center, investment center, and joint innovation center. As a core carrier, the China-Saudi International Cooperation Industrial Park will undertake the function of trade center.

In terms of deepening China-Saudi industrial cooperation, Land Group maintains long-term dialogue relationship with government authorities such as Saudi Ministries of Investment, Industry and Mining, and Energy, and already builds multi-level cooperation networks. On March 5, 2025, the group signed cooperation agreement with Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (MODON). Moreover, the group also closely interacts with authorities such as Saudi Economic Cities and Special Zones Authority (ECZA), and provide all-round support to the settlement and development of China’s enterprises in Saudi Arabia. 

In the future, Land Group will cooperate with Saudi government and global partners, continuously deepen industrial collaboration, and build Changshu into “a model city for China-Saudi cooperation”. Often visit Changshu, a blessed land in southern China, and move forward together with one united heart on the new silk road. The China-Saudi International Cooperation Industrial Park is not only a trade linkage, but moreover a bridge for civilization integration. We all look forward to the blooming of the flower of China-Saudi cooperation in Changshu.
