The Dongying Returned Overseas Chinese Federation and the Dongying district Party committee's organization department visited Austria, Hungary and Spain from June 3 to 11, which was invited by the Shandong Chamber of Commerce in Austria, Central and Eastern Europe-China Science and Technology Exchange Association and General Association of Spanish Chinese in Shandong.

The Dongying delegation paid an official visit to over 20 overseas Chinese associations and societies in the three countries, including the General Association of Qingtian People in Austria, Hungarian Overseas Chinese Community Association and Association of Chinese in Spain, and signed four agreements with them. The delegation also had an interview with 13 overseas talents from Shandong. These actions enhanced Dongying's overseas relations.

The Dongying City Promotion and Symposium with Friends from Overseas Oilfield Cities, a part of the tour, was held in Vienna, Budapest, and Barcelona. Over 60 overseas Chinese, including talents from Shandong province, were invited to the event.

During the event, attendees watched a city promotional video. The beautiful scenery of the Yellow River Delta, such as the yellow water meeting the blue sea, the white reed ballooning like snow, and flocks of migratory birds flying through the air, left a deep impression on all of them.

This visit also promoted the city's overseas cooperation in industries like petroleum equipment manufacturing and traditional Chinese medicine, and the spread of Chinese culture by visiting the overseas Chinese education institutes and medias.

Leveraging overseas Chinese associations and societies, the delegation established three liaison offices with people from oilfield cities, three liaison offices for Dongying overseas students and their families, four memorandums of cooperation and exchange, two cooperation framework agreements, and six intended cooperation projects related to trade and technology.

The Dongying delegation plays the role of overseas Chinese, spreading stories of Dongying and the Yellow River around the world and promoting the exchange and mutual learning between Chinese and Western cultures.
