According to reports, the Ministry of Commerce is working with relevant departments to continue to promote the import of global high -quality products, and it will focus on such three tasks.

First, expand market opening.

Ensure the stable operation of all aspects of the import of commodities, and increase the supply of energy resources products and agricultural products. Support the import of advanced technologies, important equipment, and key components, and promote the adjustment and optimization and upgrading of my country's industrial structure. At the same time, in -depth expansion of the service functions of the "single window", actively incorporate more relevant documents in the field of import trade, comprehensively optimize the business environment of the port, and steadily improve the level of importing facilitation.

Second, innovate import promotion platform. In recent years, my country has identified 14 import trade promotion innovation demonstration zones. These demonstration areas have actively carried out policy innovation, effectively promoted the deep integration of import trade with industries and consumption, and also formed their respective advantages and their own characteristics. Like Nansha District, Guangzhou, it is a focus on alcohol, milk powder, health products and other industries, and has formed 60 billion -level import platforms. Dalian Jinpu New District is also an imported demonstration zone, which focuses on creating the Northeast Asian Oil and Gas Trading Center and the corresponding industrial cluster. Kunshan Import Trade Promotion Innovation Demonstration Zone has built the imported coffee trading platform and raw bean distribution center to deploy the entire industry chain of coffee. At the same time as today's press conference, the expert team of the Ministry of Commerce is reviewing the new batch of imported demonstration areas. After the addition of the demonstration area, the development of import trade will be further promoted nationwide.

Third, play the import function of the exhibition. The Expo is the first national exhibition in the world with the theme of imports. In the past three years, the turnover of each Expo has exceeded 70 billion US dollars. The import exhibition areas of the Expo, the Expo and the Canton Fair will continue to connect the global, buy and sell global, and serve the world through these exhibitions, promote the world, and promote high -quality products in more countries to enter the Chinese market and share China's open development opportunities.
