Chongqing Bolstering Global Ties with “Bringing-In” and “Going-Global” Initiatives

On October 13， a press conference on the achievements of Chongqings full integration into the Belt and Road Initiative over the past decade and Blue Book was held. Zhang Yaxi， Deputy Director-General and spokesperson for the Chongqing Foreign Affairs Office of the Chongqing Municipal Peoples Government， introduced the citys experience and practice in promoting the Belt and Road Initiative by capitalizing on its advantages in foreign affairs resources.

Hosting High-Level International Conferences

Zhang Yaxi highlighted that guided by the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative， Chongqing has organized and hosted 50 significant international conferences， including nearly 20 important international conferences mandated by the central government， such as The CPC in Dialogue with the World and the Special ASEAN-China Foreign Ministers Meeting in Celebration of the 30th Anniversary of Dialogue Relations. Forums， such as the Belt and Road Forum for Interconnected Land-Sea Development， have been held in Chongqing on a regular basis.

Moreover， Chongqing has initiated international events like the Smart China Expo， the Western China International Fair for Investment and Trade （WCIFIT）， the China-Singapore （Chongqing） Connectivity Initiative Financial Summit， and the CCI-ILSTC International Cooperation Forum， which are increasingly becoming crucial platforms for global exchanges and collaborations.

Zhang Yaxi also disclosed that important international conferences such as the Belt and Road Conference on Science and Technology Exchange and the Sichuan-Chongqing Region & Mekong Countries Sub-National Cooperation Forum will be held in Chongqing.

Contributing to “Bringing-In” and “Going-Global” Initiatives

In terms of the “Bringing-In” initiative， Chongqing has received nearly 40 foreign dignitaries above the Vice-Ministerial level， such as Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong of Singapore， King Norodom Sihamoni of Cambodia， President Thongloun Sisoulith of Lao PDR and Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal ‘Prachanda of Nepal. Chongqing also invited diplomatic envoys from Belt and Road partner countries and representatives of sister cities， associations and enterprises， and foreign press to visit Chongqing， witnessing fruitful cooperation achievements.

In terms of the “Going-Global” initiative， the municipal leaders have led delegations to pay visits to countries like Singapore， Sri Lanka， Nepal， Thailand， and Belarus， fostering political exchanges， economic and trade matchmaking， and cultural exchanges. The citys international exchange and cooperation in various sectors have grown more dynamic and productive.

Expanding the International Network

Chongqing has proactively encouraged other countries to set up representative offices in Chongqing. Up to now， 13 countries have set up consulates general in Chongqing， including Uruguay， Belarus， Myanmar， and other Belt and Road partner countries. With Chongqings facilitation， Vietnam， a Belt and Road partner country， has set up a trade representative office in Chongqing.

Chongqing has extensively expanded its network of sister cities. There are 29 sister cities and 84 cities with friendly cooperative relations in Belt and Road partner countries. Thus， Chongqing is having more and more friends in the world arena.

Chongqing has actively fostered platforms for international exchanges. There have been nearly 20 international exchange platforms with unique Chongqing features， such as the Center of Chinese and Greek Ancient Civilizations and the China-South Asian Countries Poverty Alleviation and Cooperative Development Center.

Chongqing has invited international media coverage. Chongqing has invited several groups of press from Belt and Road partner countries， offering them opportunities to visit and report on the city， so as to tell Chinese stories in an intriguing way， convey Chongqings voice， and promote joint contribution and shared benefits.

Zhang Yaxi said that by seizing the opportunities to speed up the development of the Center for International Exchanges in Central and Western China， Chongqing aims to improve its involvement in global affairs， attract international resources， stimulate its international engagement， enhance its opening-up environment， and boost its global visibility. All of these efforts will deepen cooperation with Belt and Road partner countries and contribute to high-quality Belt and Road cooperation.
