Recently, Yichang, Jingzhou, Jingmen and Enshi jointly signed the Agreement on Mutual Recognition of Foreign Investors’ Legal Entity Status Documents, establishing a “one-verification, four-region use” mechanism. Under this agreement, for foreign-invested enterprises registered in any of the four cities, foreign investors only need to submit two documents: a certificate of receipt of original documents issued by the registration authority of their existing enterprise and a copy of their legal entity status certificate. There is no requirement for repeated submission of original documents, aiming to streamline the business registration process for foreign investors. (Correspondent/Pan Jianfei)
