Philip blogger was born in 1947. Former chairman of the Australian Pacific Dunlop Ltd, member of the Shanghai mayor's international entrepreneur consultative meeting, has served as the fourth chairman of the mayor's consultative meeting. He has been president of the Pacific Dunlop Ltd in Australia for a long time. In Australia, the company has many manufacturers in shoes, socks, clothing and other fields, and has many famous brands.

Shanghai has been a major city of Chinese culture and Commerce for centuries.

From 1972 to the first time in Shanghai to carry out trade in shoes and textiles, I am afraid that I will not come to Shanghai hundreds of times. Over the past 30 years, the city has been opening up, reform, innovation and progress. It has rapidly developed from a city without high-speed roads, without high-rise buildings, or even with few hotels, and has developed into a brand new and vibrant modern city.

In 2010, the world exposition will be held in Shanghai. This event will be a great opportunity to show Shanghai's brilliance. At the same time, all countries will use this platform to demonstrate their excellent urban development experience. China will discuss and share the social, cultural and environmental concept of sustainable development with other countries. I also believe that this grand event will better promote the economic and trade exchanges between the countries of the world, so as to help the world get rid of the international financial crisis as soon as possible and regain its vitality.

I recall that at the mayor's consultation meeting two years ago, we discussed with the mayor of Shanghai about the organization of Shanghai and World Expo. At that time, entrepreneurs from all over the world gave advice and suggestions for Shanghai. Over the past two years, we have witnessed the orderly and orderly progress of the organization work in Shanghai. The public transport network has been rapidly woven, health care and other public facilities and facilities have been improved, and the civilization quality of the citizens has also greatly improved.

We see that Shanghai is committed to providing better quality living conditions, modern services and a more competitive environment for the public. Shanghai is heading for a model city in China, and it conveys a clear idea to the world: "Better City, better life".

This will be no small challenge. But based on what Shanghai has done in history, I fully believe that Shanghai can do it. People all over the world will witness the development track of a model city with rapid economic development and excellent social conditions. In the coming decades and centuries, it will be a shining example for both developing and developed countries.

As a businessman who has devoted himself to the business world for a long time, I hope people will have a better understanding of the role of enterprises in this society. Enterprises will be an important part of "Better City, better life". Cities should encourage the development of enterprises and provide a better environment for survival and development for the development of enterprises, so as to hatch more and better enterprises. Excellent enterprises will create employment opportunities for the society and raise people's income level, so as to stabilize the society and promote progress. In this Shanghai World Expo, many enterprises will show their image. I hope they will arouse more attention.

In May 2010, I will go back to Shanghai with my wife to go to the Expo.
