With the beginning of Prof. Tao Yitao’s lecture titled the Historical Contribution of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone to China's Reform and Opening-up and Its Successful Experience, her words of “Shenzhen University (SZU) has 600 more alumni in Harbin New Area” symbolized the expansion of the “Shenzhen- Harbin” strategic cooperation in both depth and breadth, and the reception of benefits from such cooperation by the young cadres in the New Area.
In March, 2017, the General Office of the State Council issued the Work Plan on the Cooperation between Certain Provinces and Cities in Northeastern Region of the PRC and Partner Provinces and Cities in East China, which clarified the strategic cooperative relationship between Harbin and Shenzhen and created a favorable opportunity for the two cities to complement each other’s advantages and to achieve mutual benefits. Whiling studying on the job in Shenzhen, Wang Tieli, mayor of the New Area, witnessed Shenzhen’s vitality in innovation, influence on the world and cutting-edge reform measures. While improving his overall quality, leadership and managerial skills, Mr. Mayor partnered with the Belt and Road Research Institute (Shenzhen) for International Cooperation and Development (BRRIICD) in young cadre training. This partnership provided a great learning opportunity for young cadres from Harbin New Area to introduce up-to-the-minute management concepts, frontier reform experience and practical and innovative measures of Shenzhen to New Area for high-quality development.
On May 17, 2019, the opening ceremony of the first training class for young cadres from Harbin New Area was held in Harbin Experimental School.

This training is characterized as follows:
First, the training is action-packed with a strong line-up of teachers. The training sets up 20 courses that involve institutional innovation, innovation & entrepreneurship practice, construction of free trade zones, development of the Greater Bay Area and smart city construction. Not only it offers the most cutting-edge reform and innovation experience, but it also serves as an action guide for New Area’s high quality development.

These attendees basically represent all government sectors as some of them work on the management post, and others on the grassroots post; some are from government departments and others from businesses and public institutions.
Third, the training is well managed to achieve intended results.
