Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone signed a strategic agreement at the end of last month with South Korea’s largest corporate bank Korean Development Bank (KDB) to cooperate on financial innovations, said officials with the Administrative Committee of the Tianjin Port Free Trade Zone.
According to the agreement, both sides will work together on soliciting investment, corporate financing and equity fund investment, among other things.
