eNorth (30 March from Hong Kong): Today in the "Tianjin Week in Hong Kong Modern Logistics Conference", Vice president of Hong Kong Trade Development Council Lin Tianfu believed that Hong Kong and Tianjin are mutual-independent in logistics development. He thought that the integration of Hong Kong's international marketing experience and Tianjin IT talents is a perfect partnership.

Mr Lin Tianfu esteemed that Tianjin is a central developing area of the North and the West-north China, whose international trade will grow with high increment after central government carrying the policy of "Go West Campaign" and China entering WTO. In Hong Kong, modern Logistics has developed for a period. Hong Kong has a fairly understanding on the international market usual practices and modern logistics management; Hong Kong also has established huge international commerce network. Besides it, Hong Kong being as an international financial-commercial center also provides a favorable condition for two cities logistics to raise capital and catch the latest information of market.

He told that December 2000 Hong Kong Trade Development Council had organized a logistics observing team to visit Tianjin. 16 logistics companies, which cover air-transportation, cargo transportation, container terminals and storage. From this activity, we have known the more detailed information about latest development of China logistics and the possibility of joint-venture cooperation.

He thought that the logistics cooperation is a subject for both sides to carefully discuss. The subject is how to apply the E-commerce into the modern logistics management. The concept of "distributing sale" has been useless in modern commerce management module. The new standard of global logistics service is to let cargo transportation agencies to coordinate the management tendency of "promptly supply" and "service in one station". From this point, combining Hong Kong international markets experiences and Tianjin IT talents is really a "seamless" integration.
