A delegation from Wuxi National High-Tech District (WND) conducted a three-day counterpart cooperation journey to Tu Autonomous County of Huzhu in the city of Haidong, Qinghai province, from July 8 to 10.

WND first established a close relationship with Huzhu in 2017 and has since implemented a number of high-quality projects involving industrial poverty alleviation, culture, education, and medical and health care in a bid to achieve targeted poverty alleviation. Most recently, eight sci-tech enterprises from WND provided funds and goods equivalent to a total of 1.05 million yuan ($152,700) to aid Huzhu' education and medical industries.
