CHINA. The Moodie Davitt Report Founder & Chairman Martin Moodie has been appointed to a new multi-industry think tank in Hainan designed to drive the development of the island province’s Free Trade Port programme and its economic and social growth in coming years.
South Land Think Tank (SLTT), dubbed the ‘Wisdom Tank’ has been created by government-owned Hainan Daily Newspaper Group, the province’s leading media and communications group. The programme focuses on an ‘8+1’ concept – eight different research centres (one dedicated to tourism and offshore duty free) plus a studio.
The group yesterday held a conference and launch ceremony in Haikou, the island capital, where Moodie and other members of the think tank were formally appointed.
Additionally, Zhang Yimei, The Moodie Davitt Report’s Hainan-based Chief China Representative, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Hainan Daily Newspaper Group for continued strategic cooperation between the two organisations. ✈
