After completion and commissioning, it will form a "air-rail intermodal transport" transportation pattern with Pudong International Airport, providing important support for the Yangtze River Delta to connect the world. At the same time, the pilot zone of Shanghai Oriental Hub International Business Cooperation Zone has also entered a critical period of institutional innovation experiments. It is superimposed on the policy advantages of comprehensive bonded zones and customs supervision zones, focusing on international business exchanges, high-end international exhibitions and other fields, providing a new service platform for global business cooperation. In the first quarter of this year, Shanghai recognized 25 regional headquarters and R&D centers of multinational companies, including 4 Fortune 500 companies.

November, the first complete train of the Western Land-Sea New Passage departed from Chongqing Yuzui Station and went to sea through Qinzhou Port in Guangxi to Dubai, UAE. This new railway-sea transport plan is helping more "Chongqing" and "Western" products to cross the mountains and seas and go to the world.

Since this year, Chongqing has actively integrated resources and innovated models, relying on the location advantages of superposition of channels and smooth logistics, to build an inland open comprehensive hub, transforming location advantages into new driving force for open development.

Promote development through openness. This year, Chongqing also accelerated the implementation of the "Chongqing Cars Going Overseas" action plan to support automobile companies to layout overseas markets. At the same time, we have actively built a digital foreign trade comprehensive service system, launched nearly 30 measures, including "Chongqing Foreign Trade Digital Intelligence Brain" and "one-stop" foreign trade comprehensive service platform, and made efforts from various aspects such as industrial collaboration and policy support to accelerate the promotion of high-level opening up to the outside world.
