Chongqing plans to open up African trade channels

Chongqing, which is located in the hinterland, is trying to open up four international trade channels. Yesterday, Wang Jiguang, deputy director of the Municipal Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation Committee, said in an interview with reporters that the international trade channel of Chongqing in the east, west, south and north will open Chongqing and even the western region. The "bottleneck" of opening up to the outside world. At the 11th China Science and Technology Annual Conference special forum held in September, the experts will discuss this issue in depth.

Wang Jiguang believes that Chongqing's relatively smooth external channel is to go to Shanghai along the Yangtze River Golden Waterway and go through the Pacific Ocean. Due to the low cost of water transportation, this channel has a large flow. At present, Ningbo Port is negotiating with the city and hopes that bulk cargo can be exported through Ningbo Port. The traditional route to the south is to reach the ASEAN region through the Guangxi Railway. Now, the city is trying to pass through Ruili in Yunnan to Myanmar and other places to the Indian Ocean, and can be extended to Africa, which will also be a shorter route from Chongqing to Africa.
