CHENGDU - The Chengdu Hi-tech Zone in this capital of Southwest China's Sichuan province will devote major efforts to introducing large projects, according to Han Chunlin, chief of the zone's administrative committee.

During the 11th Five-Year Plan (2006-2010), the zone witnessed rapid development and a number of world-class multinationals invested there, enabling Chengdud to be an influential city in the global electronic information industry.

The added value of the electronic information was 19 billion yuan ($2.9 billion), an increase of 8.6 folds over the figure for the 10th Five-Year Plan (2000-2005), Han said.

The zone, which has drawn more than 50 Fortune 500 firms, will continue to introduce major projects during the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-2015), he said.
