Chongqing, an inland open highland, is promoting the construction of its international economic and trade cooperation center with unprecedented efforts, aiming to lead a new round of innovative development of intermediate goods trade by building a comprehensive and efficient foreign trade comprehensive service system. According to a report from Chongqing on September 15, Chongqing is about to introduce a series of important measures to build a strategic material reserve, distribution and distribution center from west to south, and further consolidate its status as an inland opening hub.
At a recent press conference held by the Chongqing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China, Gao Jian, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Chongqing Municipal Development and Reform Commission, elaborated on Chongqing's three core strategies in promoting the opening up of the hinterland. First of all, Chongqing will focus on accelerating the construction of a modern multimodal transport collection and distribution system, and form an efficient and convenient logistics network by optimizing the synergy and linkage of the new western land-sea corridor, the China-Europe freight train, the golden waterway of the Yangtze River and the international aviation hub. At the same time, the opening functions of the railway port comprehensive bonded zone and the highway logistics base will be fully upgraded to support larger-scale international trade activities.
Secondly, Chongqing is actively exploring the inland institutional opening path of land and sea, and by expanding the pilot scope of the "one single system" for rail-sea intermodal transport, it will realize the seamless connection of the whole process of cargo insurance, and provide more convenient and safe transportation guarantee for international trade. In addition, the in-depth implementation of the China-Singapore Connectivity Project will promote in-depth cooperation in the fields of finance, logistics, aviation and telecommunications, and further broaden the new space for international cooperation. In particular, the improvement of the "three countries and three parks" cooperation mechanism will help Chongqing become a model of international industrial and supply chain cooperation.
Finally, in order to support the new development pattern of domestic and international dual circulation, Chongqing will make every effort to build an international economic and trade cooperation center. By formulating an industrial map of foreign investment in Chongqing, we will actively strive to add more items related to Chongqing's industries in the Catalogue of Encouraged Industries for Foreign Investment, so as to attract more foreign-funded enterprises to settle in. At the same time, we will optimize the service system of "Chongqing Enterprises Going to Sea", innovate and upgrade the "Chongqing Automobile Going to Sea" action plan, and provide all-round support for local enterprises to go global. In addition, it will also establish a diversified service platform and service alliance for overseas investment to help enterprises develop steadily in overseas markets.
The implementation of this series of measures marks a solid step forward for Chongqing in promoting the opening up of the inland and promoting the high-quality development of foreign trade. In the future, with the continuous improvement of the comprehensive foreign trade service system and the continuous innovation of intermediate goods trade, Chongqing is expected to become an important bridge and link connecting Chinese mainland and the global market.
