2008 High Level Forum On Regional Economic Cooperation In West And South Asia

At the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, the collective thinking of the wisdom of central and Western Asia gathered again.

World Plaza Hotel, September 2nd.

2008 the high level forum of the Sino Western Regional Economic Cooperation Forum, the huge theme of "the current situation and development of our regional economic and trade cooperation" has a strong sensory impact, while the dark blue exhibition background panels are deep and distant like the sky, overflowing with the brilliance of wisdom and reason.

Officials from the Ministry of Commerce, leaders of the China Council for trade promotion, leaders of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Secretary General of Shanghai cooperation organization, leaders of Turkey, Kazakhstan, Tajikistan, Armenia and other countries and regions, leaders of Urumqi City, experts from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, and entrepreneurs at home and abroad.

They boarded the platform.

With collective open thinking, they explore the connotation and essence of the era of economic globalization and regional integration, and take the wings of take-off for cooperation, innovation and win-win situation.

Amid the storm of thought, there was a dream of communication and cooperation in the assembly hall.

In the field of wisdom that inspires and dreams blend with each other, we hear the tide of globalization, the pulse of regional integration, and the attitude of Xinjiang to grow and fly.

Xinjiang has shown a "all directional opening" posture. "Xinjiang is contiguous with Central Asian and South Asian countries and is the core hub of the revival of the Silk Road".

We are delighted about the remarkable achievements made in Xinjiang's economic and social development in recent years.

In the eyes of Bolat Nurgalijew, Secretary General of the Shanghai cooperation organization, the Ukrainian fair is already the largest comprehensive international economic and trade grand meeting in Western China, and also an important bridge for economic and trade exchanges between China and other countries in the West and South Asia.

Because of this, the cooperation between Shanghai cooperation organization and Ukrainian Council will be so close to Xinjiang.

"It is very important for the Armenia trade group to participate in this UGC meeting to expand its economic and trade cooperation with its neighboring countries and attract foreign investment."

Alevik Petros, deputy speaker of the Armenia parliament, is very frank and excited. She believes that the Ukrainian Fair has become a successful channel and way to promote the economic and trade cooperation among the participating countries, to boost the national economy and enhance the welfare status of all countries. I hope that the participants of this forum will pay attention to the cooperation with Armenia.

In the eyes of the participants, Xinjiang is an exciting, enviable and exciting place.

Especially in the process of the great development of Western China, Xinjiang's "omnidirectional opening" attitude is really charming and attractive.

In the coming period, it is an important period for China and Xinjiang to accelerate reform and opening up and building a moderately prosperous society in an all-round way. It is also a critical period for Xinjiang to grasp the strategic opportunities and speed up the modernization drive.

Xinjiang will build China's largest petrochemical base, the most distinctive agricultural and sideline product processing base in China, and build export commodities bases and regional international trade centers relying on the mainland, Central Asia, South Asia, Western Asia and even European countries. This will enable Xinjiang to dance more effectively on the stage of the economic circle of central and South West Asia.

The Xinjiang news portal, the staff of the Asia Center network, is sitting in front of a row of computers, broadcasting live on the forum live.

No matter where you are, just click on the sub core network as if you are at the scene.

During the forum, Bolat Nurgalijew, Secretary General of the Shanghai cooperation organization and Minister of state of Turkey, such as guelsad Tuzmen, went to the broadcast center of Asia Center, and their views spread all over the world immediately.

The development of Xinjiang and the trend of future development are inspiring to everyone.

The voice of merchants is sincere and warm.

The smiling face of a guest is like a mirror, reflecting the posture and appearance of Xinjiang's development.

Owing to its good geographical advantages, Xinjiang, which borders on many countries in Central Asia and South Asia, has laid a solid foundation for the development of economic and trade cooperation through friendly political relations, and has also promoted the economic development of Xinjiang and these countries.

The economy of the central and western South Asian countries is in the stage of recovery and growth, and the consumer market is active. This also provides a broad space for the Western products of Xinjiang and Chinese products.

"The export situation in Xinjiang is so good that foreign trade companies like us need not worry about it any longer, and no longer worry about the future export trend of the company."

Facing the rolling business opportunities, Ma Xianglin, general manager of Xinjiang de Ma Tara International Trade Co., Ltd., is very excited.

For him, all this is wealth itself.

"The Xinjiang economic news department has reached the standards of international conferences for the organization and service of the forum. The forum has been produced exquisitely so that visitors can feel a strong international flavor. It will be a good reference for the media to hold similar forums in the future."

The director of the autonomous region's foreign trade and Economic Cooperation Department and Yi Ming have highly praised the forum. "The level and scale of this forum has exceeded the first five sessions. The speeches of 11 officials and experts relate to areas such as regional economy, trade and investment, railways, highways, ports and so on. They have a wide range of reference value for the formulation of policies in various countries in the central and South Asian countries. They not only enhance mutual understanding among countries, but also enhance the friendship between countries. The forum played a bridge and link role."

"New space thinking" opens up space for development. In order to find new space, mankind moves from forest to plain, grassland, and from land to sea and toward space.

The process of human civilization is to constantly explore the process of new living space.

From the ancient Silk Road more than 2000 years ago to today's new Eurasian Continental Bridge, in the long history of space-time changes and vicissitudes, what remains unchanged is the desire for communication and the pursuit of tomorrow.

With the vision of the world and observing today's "global village", we find that space has become a variable that can shrink and expand like human soul.

2008 at the high level forum for Sino western regional economic cooperation, exploring new development space is still the dream of participants.

Standing on the floor of the forum, Nur Bekri, deputy secretary of the Autonomous Region Party committee and chairman of the autonomous region, pointed out sharply that nowadays, "seeking greater room for economic development" has become an important policy choice for the central and western South Asian countries.

Against this background, Xinjiang will take a more positive attitude to better integrate "import" and "go out", encourage Xinjiang enterprises to cooperate with enterprises in all regions of the region, encourage more powerful Xinjiang enterprises to invest abroad and expand their multi-level cooperation mode, which is actually a "positive attitude" and "expansion of ideas", which will open Xinjiang's space in the regional economic field.

Xing Guangcheng, director of the Institute of Russian East European and Central Asian Studies of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, is particularly fond of "space". "If we look at the strategy of marine economic development, Xinjiang is a region with a completely weak economic position. If we look at the economic development strategy of Eurasia, Xinjiang is a region with great economic position.

Xinjiang should build its own strategic framework in the pattern of economic cooperation and development in the Eurasian continent.

"Xinjiang, as a traditional north-west inland area, is playing the geographical advantage of opening to the west, and constantly opening up to the west, which makes China's multi polarization pport corridor a reality."

With his own words, Xing Guangcheng made the best commentary on the strategy of "opening to the west".

Bolat Nurgalijew, Secretary General of the Shanghai cooperation organization, summed up the reasons for the good momentum of the organization's development. The member states have vast geographical space, extremely rich natural and human resources, strong industrial and agricultural and technological potential, and strong mutual economic complementarity. Most importantly, there is a good neighborly and friendly relationship between the peoples of the world.

The integration of space and the optimization of spatial structure can also bring space to expand. New space concept and space consciousness make many participants more open-minded.

In the view of Sadov Said, chairman of Tajikistan chamber of Commerce and industry, the core issue of today's world is not only the world's producers are changing the market, but also the vast number of consumers are gradually changing the direction of market development, including regional economic market.

In his passionate speech, he also expressed his concept of space: "here today, representatives of various countries and regions are concentrated.

I suggest that you come to Tajikistan to invest in the investigation and discuss cooperation matters, and you can go through the highway built by our neighbouring countries in the large markets around us - Central Asia, Iran, Pakistan and Caucasus.

The potential of the bridgehead is still great, and it has fallen into love with the wind and dust. It has annihilated the vicissitudes of the last team of the ancient Silk Road.

Thousands of years later, millions of merchants came on the new silk road.

The river of time still flows on Gobi. The difference is that the door of wealth has been reopened.

Today, the Asian Eurasian Continental Bridge connects China with many countries such as Central Asia, Western Asia, South Asia, Eastern Europe, southern Europe and Western Europe. It plays an important role in promoting the economic and trade, personnel exchanges and social and economic development of the Eurasian continent.

Today, in the blueprint of the central and Western Asian economic circle, Xinjiang is the center of gravity. Xinjiang is the most advanced bridgehead in the strategic map of China's opening to the West.

Last year, the state put forward the strategic positioning of Xinjiang's future development in the overall deployment of Xinjiang's economic and social development, namely, building an important resource and energy base in China, an important fulcrum for economic growth in the western region and an important gateway to China's opening to the West.

At the same time, with a view to building a new pattern of opening up to the outside world with the opening of the Western China and the opening of the eastern coastal areas, the state further clearly put forward the idea of building Xinjiang into an export commodity base and a regional international trade center relying on the mainland, facing Central Asia, Western Asia, South Asia and even European countries. This series of strategic deployment and strategic positioning indicates that Xinjiang's open development has been included in the overall strategy of national development, and also marks the development of Xinjiang has entered a new historical stage.

Xing Guangcheng, director of the Russian East European and Central Asian Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, pointed out that Xinjiang's opening up is comprehensive, comprehensive and cosmopolitan.

Opening up is not done without opening. It should be developed in many angles and in all directions.

Xing Guangcheng calmly reminded Xinjiang to be on the border with 8 countries. This unique geopolitical and economic structure determines that Xinjiang must first fully tap the potential of geopolitical and economic advantages.

Now it seems that the economic cooperation between Xinjiang and its neighboring countries has already started and accumulated rich experience and contacts, forming a relatively mature mode of cooperation and channels. But we should also see that Xinjiang has great room for economic cooperation with its neighboring countries, and its potential for cooperation is still not fully excavated.

The reminders of Guang Xing, from another point of view, means that the economic cooperation between Xinjiang and its neighboring countries is still very large, and the potential for cooperation should be constantly explored.

Xinjiang has at least three irreplaceable advantages: first, from the perspective of China's domestic economic structure, we can see that Xinjiang's strategic position in the strategic layout of China's economic cooperation with the 8 neighboring countries in the west is irreplaceable. From the location of South Asia, Western Asia, Russia, especially in the development of Central Asia and China's economic cooperation, Xinjiang's status can not be replaced; from the strategic layout of the Eurasian land pportation, Xinjiang's position in the throat road is irreplaceable.

This is an opportunity for Xinjiang and an opportunity for the central and Western Asian economic circle.

In today's era, opportunity is also a breeze that comes with the tide of the times.

It does not change our pace with the anticipation of it. Seize the opportunity not only requires strength, but also wisdom and courage.

The deputy director of the Standing Committee of the autonomous regional people's Congress, the Secretary of the Party committee of Wuchang and the Secretary of the Urumqi municipal Party committee, Li Chi, have clearly realized that Xinjiang's open development has been integrated into the overall national development strategy, and Urumqi has undoubtedly been placed on the strategic level of the development of the national and autonomous regions, and has pushed to the forefront of the development of new heights and opening to the West in the west of China.

At this time, the most important thing for Urumqi is to seize the opportunity of Urumqi Changji integration and seize the multiple opportunities such as the great development of the western region, the in-depth promotion of the regional cooperation between the West and South Asia, and the shift of the eastern industry to the West.
