SHANGHAI Party Secretary Han Zheng last week met the US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew as he led a delegation to attend the G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors Meeting in Pudong.

Han briefed American guests on Shanghai's 13th Five-Year Plan and the development of Shanghai Free Trade Zone. He said the city is shifting emphasis to innovation, green development, and quality of economic growth.

He said many American companies are closely following the development of Shanghai Free Trade Zone and are participating in its construction. Many American business leaders who are members of the International Business Leaders of Advisory Council for the Mayor of Shanghai provided valuable ideas and suggestions.
