Tianshan News (Reporter Chen Qiangqi reported) "As one of the 7th China -Asia -Europe Expo Special Forum, the preparations for the first regional comprehensive economic partnership (RCEP) and Luhai New Channel forum are being promoted as planned. There are RCEP member states and 50 countries and regions in countries and regions along the "Belt and Road".

The theme of the regional comprehensive economic partnership (RCEP) and the Luhai New Channel forum is "Seize the new opportunities for RCEP, unblock the new channel of the land and sea", and will be carried out in the form of "online+offline". It is planned to invite 300 Chinese and foreign guests to participate.

The RCEP implemented in January this year is a free trade agreement with the largest number of people in the world, the largest economic and trade scale, and the most development potential. It has 15 member states such as China, South Korea, and ASEAN. The new land and sea channel is a new international land and sea trade channel created by the western provinces of China and ASEAN countries. With Chongqing as the operating center, the western provinces and cities are the key nodes, and the transportation methods such as railways, sea transportation, and highways are used Essence

Zuo Peijiang said that after the effectiveness of RCEP, more than 90%of the goods trade in the region will eventually achieve zero tariffs. Many member states are emerging markets for Xinjiang's foreign trade enterprises, and the growth rate of foreign trade between the two parties is significant. Xinjiang is one of the members of the new land and sea channel. It can effectively connect the land and the maritime Silk Road through this channel. For Xinjiang companies, this is a major historical opportunity. It is hoped that through this forum, various policies that can give a good use of the country to the Xinjiang Silk Road Economic Belt in a good use of the country can accelerate the new pattern of Xinjiang's in -depth integration into the domestic and international cycles and serving the country's dual -cycle development.

In the first half of the year, the total value of imports and exports of countries along the “Belt and Road” and members of the RCEP members of the “Belt and Road” was 82.4 billion yuan and 5.54 billion yuan, respectively, a year -on -year increase of 45.7%and 18.9%, respectively.
