In her address, Chen Liyan, secretary of the CPC Kunshan Municipal Committee, expressed gratitude to the attending officials and guests for their support of Kunshan's development. She said that in recent years, leveraging its unique geographic advantages, comprehensive industrial system, and first-class business environment, Kunshan has applied the industrial chain coordination capabilities it honed through precision manufacturing to the "soft" food sector, attracting more than 300 leading food companies with a combined output value exceeding 100 billion yuan. She expressed the hope that more outstanding companies and talented professionals would visit and establish themselves in Kunshan, share in the city's development opportunities, pursue new partnerships, jointly expand the high-end food industry, and realize the vision of "Let the World Fall in Love with the Taste of Kunshan."

Li Jiancheng, deputy director and member of the Leading Party Members' Group of the Jiangsu Department of Industry and Information Technology, said in his address that the food industry is both an essential livelihood industry that meets people's daily needs and a wealth-generating industry that increases incomes in urban and rural areas, while also serving as one of Jiangsu's traditional competitive industries. He expressed the hope that Kunshan would continue to strengthen its first-mover advantages in sectors such as coffee, expand emerging industries including grain and oil deep processing, new-style beverages, health foods, and pet food, deepen industry-academia-research collaboration and industry-city integration, and establish itself as a provincial benchmark for the high-end food industry.

Zhang Liang, a member of the Standing Committee and director of the Organization Department of the CPC Jiangnan University Committee, speaking as an industry expert, said the university will fully leverage its academic strengths, research capabilities, and talent resources to deepen comprehensive collaboration with Kunshan by jointly establishing innovation platforms, tackling key food processing technologies, and accelerating the industrialization of cutting-edge research achievements in Kunshan, together writing a new chapter in the coordinated development of the high-end food industry across the Yangtze River Delta.
