In August of this year, the provincial party committee secretary Zhang Qingwei stressed that the free trade pilot zone should be used to drive the construction of the highland, vigorously promote innovative, differentiated and integrated innovation, and promote the coordinated development of the three regions. Provincial Governor Mao Weiming pointed out that we should highlight the driving effect of the "Belt and Road" initiative free trade pilot zone, highlight the optimization of business environment, and provide strong support for the construction of a modern new Hunan. Recently, the leading group of China (Hunan) Pilot Free Trade Zone issued the Notice on Doing a Good Job in the Application for the Construction of China (Hunan) Pilot Free Trade Zone Collaborative linkage Zone, which clarified the work objectives, application conditions, construction content and other aspects, marking the comprehensive start of the construction of the cooperative linkage zone of Hunan Pilot Free Trade Zone.
The construction of a free trade zone linkage development zone plays an important role in promoting innovative development, giving play to the leading and radiating role of the pilot free trade zone, and promoting high-quality development and regional coordinated development. The Yueyang Municipal Party Committee and the Yueyang Municipal Government clearly put forward that we should promote regional coordinated development, encourage and support the free trade zone to carry out economic cooperation with key parks, and let market participants feel more benefits and convenience brought by system innovation.
In September, we entered the Yueyang Free Trade Zone and felt the rapid changes in development and construction. The development of Yueyang Free Trade Zone and Collaborative linkage Zone is full of vitality and promising.
linkage - "Free Trade Pro"
Since its establishment in 2020, Yueyang Free Trade Zone has achieved fruitful results in leading high-quality development, accumulated 28 system innovation achievements, implemented 84 reform pilot tasks, and ranked among the forefront of the city in terms of various open economic indicators. It has become an important platform and carrier for Hunan's opening up and development, and has effectively played the role of a pilot field for comprehensively deepening reform and expanding opening up.
With the acceleration of the province's efforts to build a highland of reform and opening up in inland areas, more and more attention has been paid to how to better play the leading role of the pilot free trade zone and promote regional coordinated development. The Yueyang Municipal Party Committee and the Yueyang Municipal Government attach great importance to and promote at a high level. Cao Puhua, the Secretary of the Yueyang Municipal Party Committee, and Li Zhi, the Deputy Secretary of the Yueyang Municipal Party Committee and the Mayor of Yueyang, pay great attention to the linkage work. They have deployed and arranged the linkage work many times at the meeting, gathering the most comprehensive resources and providing the most powerful guarantee for coordinated development.
The Municipal Free Trade Office and the Municipal Party Committee Reform Office jointly promote and continue to make efforts. Together with relevant functional departments, they will use the advantages of Yueyang Free Trade Zone to explore and promote the establishment of a collaborative linkage zone of the Free Trade Zone. They will focus on the key direction and areas of linkage development, replicate and promote the innovative achievements of the Free Trade Zone to the collaborative linkage counties and cities, inject new vitality into local innovation and development, and expand new space for the reform and innovation of the Free Trade Zone, Explore new paths for regional coordinated development.
Every innovation in Yueyang Free Trade Zone has left a solid footprint from the first try to "create" a feature to the linkage development, and each footprint is linked to the rapid path of deep reform and high-level opening up.
In order to explore the formation of more extensive, highly integrated and distinctive reform and innovation experience, the Innovation Coordination Department of Yueyang Free Trade Zone actively "went out" to learn, establish docking and linkage channels with Shanghai Lingang New Zone, Shenzhen Qianhai Free Trade Zone and other places, absorb more advanced ideas and practices, and later will focus on promoting the existing reform and innovation experience of the zone to the collaborative and linkage zone and even the wider region, radiating to all districts, cities and functional parks, Enable the development of the whole city.
Demonstration drives development. At present, Yueyang Free Trade Zone, Linxiang City, Huarong County and the Economic Development Zone have carried out all-round docking around the working mechanism and cooperation content of coordinated and coordinated development, and will successively sign cooperation agreements. In view of the needs and foundation of various regions, it has defined the linkage development priorities of "system innovation, open platform sharing, industrial development, element resource sharing, and development platform building", It will effectively lead the counties and cities where the Collaborative linkage Zone is located to share the dividends of free trade reform, improve the comprehensive competitiveness of regional economy, and make contributions to building a highland of reform and opening up in inland areas of the province.
Joint - leading the "industrial line"
Development is the first priority, and industry is the first support. Promoting the industrial connection and cooperation between the pilot free trade zone and the collaborative zone is an important part of the construction of the interactive development zone. With the continuous improvement of the function of Yueyang's high-level portal hub for opening up to the outside world, Chenglingji New Port Area has gathered a number of industrial projects, such as Xinjinbao, Panhua, Huichuan, Yiqin, Xinyuan Chain, etc., and built a comprehensive service platform in the fields of electronic information, shipping logistics, equipment manufacturing, etc., further enhancing the radiation and driving effect of the free trade area.
Zhou Sheng, director of the Free Trade Industry Department of Yueyang Free Trade Zone, introduced that Yueyang Free Trade Zone, in combination with the city's "12+1" advantageous industrial cluster orientation, has promoted industrial differentiation in investment attraction, strengthened investment attraction information sharing with Linxiang, Huarong and other places, promoted complementary and dislocation development of industrial advantages, and has successively recommended more than 20 projects to the linkage development zone. Next, we will implement cluster investment promotion, joint investment promotion and supporting investment promotion, gather resources, focus on promoting the implementation of upstream and downstream supporting projects of leading industries in the Free Trade Zone to the collaborative linkage zone, promote the formation of a number of cooperation achievements, jointly cultivate industrial clusters with international competitiveness, and strengthen the development potential of the real economy.
The first phase of the Sino African Economic and Trade Industrial Park project jointly built by Yueyang Free Trade Zone and Linxiang has been fully completed and put into operation. More than 20 forest processing and related supporting enterprises have settled down. The second phase will participate in the Ivorian agricultural products processing plant project, and simultaneously start the construction of four supporting fine processing plants in China. It will gradually build a closed-loop industrial chain of "African investment and production - financing and import - domestic bonded processing - global sales - barter trade". As one of the top 500 domestic high-quality private enterprises in the region, Panhua Group signed a phase I mustard processing project with an investment of 1.56 billion yuan with Huarong County on July 29 this year through joint promotion in the region. Huichuan Technology will also have a number of supporting projects in Huarong this year. By promoting the cooperation and development among enterprises on the chain, it has successively provided logistics and transportation solutions for Kemeida, Leibo Electric, Quyuan Yueda Grease and other enterprises in the Economic Development Zone, and coordinated Hemingde, Deshi and other enterprises in the region to explore the connection and cooperation of supply chain products with enterprises in the Economic Development Zone. At the same time, the district and other open platforms are also accelerating the joint development, jointly exploring the integration of port resources, deeply tapping the potential of port logistics, and making water transport logistics bigger and stronger. It is promoting the construction of Hongshantou Port in Huarong County, Tashi Post Port, and Linxiang Yalan Port as the "Weixing" ports of Chenglingji Port, giving full play to the advantages of Chenglingji Port in terms of bulk cargo, and tapping the potential of the port for deep processing of grain and oil, cotton, new energy materials, and logistics transportation, Realize port integration and platform superposition.
The Free Trade Zone is a development platform with the highest degree of openness and the best market business environment in the new round of reform. Lu Lufu, Minister of Legal Services Department, said that at present, we have built a closed-loop judicial security system to provide market players with full chain and diversified legal service tools. We have set up public legal service centers, courts in the Free Trade Zone, international commercial circuit courts, Hong Kong Macao joint law firms and trade, maritime, railway Intellectual property rights and other judicial security coordination work contact points, so that judicial services can be cultivated in the park, so that enterprises can enjoy an international legal environment at home, faster and better conform to international commercial rules, and participate in international competition safely and conveniently.
Facing the sea, spring blossoms. Yueyang Free Trade Zone is focusing on "free trade+industrial chain" to speed up industrial upgrading, give play to the advantages of free trade in gathering new technologies, new formats and new scenarios, promote the industry to become bigger and stronger, introduce more free trade functional formats, and accelerate the cultivation of new driving forces near the port.
Join hands to build an "open bridge"
If you don't refuse to flow, you will become a river and a sea. Under the current severe and complex external environment and the new challenge situation brought by the multiple distribution of domestic epidemics, a series of national, provincial and municipal policies and measures to stabilize foreign trade have been intensively introduced, helping the majority of foreign trade entities to face difficulties and innovate and develop.
Li Jianhua, Secretary of the Party Working Committee of Chenglingji New Port District, said in his exchange speech at the provincial conference to promote the building of a highland of reform and opening up in inland areas this year that we should highlight smooth and smooth, and take institutional innovation to add momentum to promote the growth of foreign trade. The new port area is the bridgehead of opening up to the outside world. The total import and export trade volume has exceeded 10 billion steps every year. The comprehensive bonded area has ranked first in the province's special customs supervision area every year. Guansheng Company has grown into the largest foreign trade import and export enterprise in the province. In order to drive the opening and development of the collaborative zone, the new port zone, the free trade zone, and the comprehensive protection zone are linked together, making full use of the resource advantages, giving practical play to the platform functions of Guansheng and the free trade investment, promoting the mature "one platform and two mechanisms" model, supporting the collaborative zone to cultivate and develop the supply chain financial service system, and building a new development pattern in a smooth domestic and international double cycle.
The head geese fly first, and the flock of geese chase after each other. The district and Huarong County are discussing the establishment of a joint venture to carry out foreign trade business and provide financial supply chain services for Huarong imported cotton, which will effectively guide the return of foreign trade performance. Deeply cooperate with Linxiang to jointly expand domestic and foreign trade business. After close cooperation and consultation with the Economic Development Zone in the early stage, a new comprehensive foreign trade service platform is proposed. Rio Tinto, a new cross-border e-commerce service platform, has been established to provide free technical support for cross-border e-commerce enterprises in the city. In the early stage, it has connected with 112 enterprises and signed cooperation agreements with 5 enterprises. It is estimated that after operation, it will complete cross-border e-commerce business data of 600 million yuan every year. In addition, we won the support of the customs department, assisted Chinese food in completing the entry filing procedures for imported anchovy from Africa, and screened and assisted the city's powerful foreign trade enterprises to carry out AEO certification with the General Administration of Customs.
Facing the world, a new window has been opened. Yan Jinsong, the chairman of Guansheng Company, and Xu Peng, the chairman of Free Trade Investment Company, are fully confident in development. Later, they will focus on the linkage of foreign trade, promote the "sailing" of featured products in various counties and cities, form a batch of linked development in kind, and stimulate the vitality of high-quality development growth poles.
Look up at the starry sky and keep your feet on the ground. Yueyang Free Trade Zone and Collaborative linkage Zone are gathering potential energy with openness and collaboration, releasing potential with linkage development, delivering a steady stream of opening forces for high-quality development, so that Yueyang, a city that has always been leading the trend of reform and opening up, can open up a better future.
