休斯敦需要更多的城市外交


新任市長惠特邁在其市政建設之政見中將改善治安為首要任務, 他坚信良好之治安環境是一切之基礎,唯有大家能過上平安之日子, 才是最重要的生活條件。


他對大休斯敦今後的城市外交也十分重視, 希望透過各項文化經濟投資交流來促進經濟繁榮和就業機會。休斯敦目前共有九十八個總領事馆,包括全世界主要國家在內, 其中以石油、科技、 醫療交流為主, 我們並擁有非常龎大而良好之港口, 並且是全球第八大之經濟體。


我們將加強市政建議,通过全球的城市外交和文化貿易及學術交換來提升本市在全球之知名度。 


市府更應常設經濟文化投資服務專責辦公室, 為各國投資者提供全方位一站到位之服務, 並且要籌設休斯敦商業保稅及工業區,擴大拓商為本市增加就業機會。


休斯敦是全美第四大城, 有着非常強勁之經濟潛力 ,更和全球近百個大城市結締為姐妹市 ,如何透過城市外交促進交流也是新市长努力之重大項目。


Houston Needs More City Diplomacy


Our new Mayor Whitmire has made public safety as his top priority. He believes that a good public security environment is the foundation of everything. To provide a safe environment and a safe life for everyone is the most important living condition for all. 


We also need to promote city diplomacy to support and strengthen the prosperity of our economy. At the present time, there are 98 consulates in Houston which include all major countries of the world among which comprise many of the critical  businesses of oil, science, technology and medical fields.


Today the City of Houston has almost one hundred cities around the world that we consider as our sister cities. We need to encourage and enhance these relationships through culture, trade and academic exchange. 


We want to suggest that the city needs to establish a special investment office to encourage investors to come to Houston to do business and to eventually create a Houston light industrial and tax free zone. 


This is our hope to be a part of this city and to move forward.
