Answer reporters 丨 This year is the first time that the "Dialogue Shandong" Korean event is held for the first time. There are many highlights and a lot of views. It is concentrated in five aspects.

2022 Dialogue Shandong -South Korea · Shandong Industrial Cooperation Exchange Conference, 2022 Dialogue and Sino -Japanese Kangyang Industry Cooperation Exchange Conference will be held in Jinan on August 17 and August 24, respectively. This morning, the Provincial Government News Office held a press conference to introduce the preparations of the event and answered questions from reporters.

China News Agency reporter:

What are the main considerations for this year's "Dialogue Shandong" Japanese event to focus on the Kangyang industry?

Meng Xiangdong: Since 2020, in the organization and preparation of the "Dialogue Shandong" activities, the principle of "mechanism, platform nature, targetedness, and effectiveness" has always been adhered to. The "Dialogue in Shandong" Japanese event is the third year this year. The activity mechanism has formed and the platform effect has gradually emerged. This year we focus on "targeted" and "effectiveness" to promote the pragmatic effect of Shandong's Japanese industry cooperation. Choosing Kangyang Industry as a breakthrough is mainly considered in the following three aspects:

First, the development of the health care industry is an important starting point for advancing the high -quality development of the province. As a yang industry that integrates and develops multi -formats such as medical care, pension, health, traditional Chinese medicine, tourism, sports, etc., the industry chain is long, with good supporting support, strong supporting power, and wide coverage. The important engine of high -quality development of industries and economy is an important starting point for deepening the reform of supply -side structure and accelerating the conversion of new and old kinetic energy. The elderly population in Shandong exceeds 20 million, and the population over 60 years of age accounts for more than 20%. The aging rate is 2.2 percentage points higher than the national average. Japan has the advantage of the first -mover industry in the health care industry. By strengthening the cooperation between Japan and promoting the development of the health care industry, it is not only a specific measure to implement the "Healthy China" strategy, but also a practical action to enhance the well -being of people's livelihood.

The second is that Shandong and Japan's Kangyang Industry cooperation have a solid foundation. Japan's health care industry is at the world's leading level in terms of service, technology, and talents. As the second -poplar province in China and the first elderly province in China, Shandong has a huge space in demand groups and market size. Essence Since the signing of a memorandum of cooperation with the Japanese trade revitalization agency in Shandong Province in 2009, the Kangyang Industry has been a key area for cooperation between the two parties. Nearly a hundred cooperative projects in the fields of talent training, auxiliary device trade, facility operations, etc., promoted many well -known pension institutions such as Japan Aizhi Group to settle in Shandong, laying a solid foundation for the event.

Third, the cooperation between China and Japan has a broad prospect. Starting from January 1 this year, the RCEP agreement officially took effect. For the first time, China and Japan established bilateral free trade relations and reached tariff reduction arrangements. In the RCEP service trade section, China has improved the promise level of the opening of the pension industry and allows the establishment of a wholly -owned profit -based pension institution. The Sino -Japanese health care industry ushered in the development window period. Enterprises of both parties will take the boat of RCEP to "silver hair" by waves. The new blue ocean of the economy releases new potential for economic and trade cooperation in Japan.

In the next step, we will continue to promote cooperation in Japan in the fields of pension, nursing institutions, nursing talents training, recreational manufacturing related manufacturing, etc., follow up the implementation of key cooperation projects for service cooperation to ensure that the cooperation between the recreational industry of both parties can achieve pragmatic results, and create a pair of rights. New model of daily industry cooperation, new model.
