Updated:2014.10.14

  The Tenth High-level Forum for Pan-Zhu-River Delta Area Cooperation and Development was held in Guangzhou on the afternoon of October 12. The administrative leaders of the “9+2” members, the persons in charge of the National Development and Reform Commission and Development Research Center of the State Council as well as a few exports and scholars delivered speeches. The forum was chaired by Cui Shi’an, the Executive of Macao SAR. Mr. Wei Hong, vice secretary of Sichuan Provincial Committee of the CPC and governor of Sichuan Provincial People’s Government, advised in his speech all the parties of the Pan-Zhu-River Area, based on the new conditions for development, to focus on the communication of economy and trade, the cooperation of industries and the overall transportation construction. He recommended a transformational development for all parties to build an “upgrade” version of the Pan-Zhu-River economy.

  Wei Hong said, at the new starting point after the 10-year Pan-Zhu-River cooperation, both the deepening economic globalization and the newly rising regional integration are strengthening the mutual link and merging of all the countries and areas. Under such background, how to grab the unprecedented opportunity and deepen the communication of economy and trade, as well as the cooperation of all industries? Wei Hong gives three pieces of advice.

  Firstly, to advance the quality and effect of the cooperation of economy and trades and open the “second season” for the regional economic and trade cooperation. All the parties of The Pan-Zhu-River Area should innovate the ways of cooperation by encouraging the enterprises to use project financing, merger, renting, etc. They should explore the modes of the construction of the cooperation and nurture a few key areas leading the international cooperation. They should take the advantage of the wide links of the area and actively find international markets like Europe, America, Japan, Korea, ASEAN countries, Portuguese-speaking Countries and develop the economic and trade cooperation of exploring overseas resources, project contracting, overseas investment. They should also gradually popularize the customs clearance procedure of “declared in the home location, checked at the port” and enlarge the scope of implement, and ultimately jointly build a 72-hour Mechanism of Transit Without Visa among the cities, and accelerate the progress of the liberation and facilitation of the trade investments.

  Secondly, to advance the cooperation of high-end industries and make a “new engine” for regional industrial development. All the parties in Pan-Zhu-River Area should use their own strong points and strengthen the industrial planning; deepen and refine specialization of industries and value chains; build trans-regional technique innovation league and industrial league, and jointly cultivate a few new industries with complete chains and high-competitive ability; form a new group of industries with their own distinctive features and strengths. Currently, Sichuan Province is attempting to cultivate five high-end industries as shale gas, energy saving and environment protection equipment, information safety, aviation and gas turbine as well as new energy vehicles. It is also specially developing five new pioneering services like electronic business, modern logistics, modern finance, technique service and health service. Sichuan warmly welcome the cooperation with all the parties of Pan-Zhu-River Area.

  Thirdly, to make overall plans on the “two functions” of government and markets and construct an “upgrade” version of the regional environments. All the parties in Pan-Zhu-River should follow the order of the fully deepening the reform, and respect the market discipline and play the role of the governments. On the role of the market, all the parties should encourage the market entities to invest and hand over to the market  the power of effective adjustment, and then allow the enterprises to engage in the cooperation with more energy and space. As for the role of the government, it should build new platforms for industrial and commercial cooperation within the area; it should transmit its function by reducing more power to let in the market; it should also enhance the monitoring of the market and improving the service to become a good “eferee” for the market order.

  Liu Jie, Vice Governor of Sichuan Province, also attended the forum.
