On the morning of April 7th, He Shuping, secretary of Guangyuan Municipal Party Committee, Sichuan Province, led a team to visit Huaihua International Land Port for inspection. They were accompanied by Xu Zhongjian, secretary of Huaihua Huaihua Municipal Party Committee. Chen Zhengyong, member of the Standing Committee of Guangyuan Municipal Committee and minister of the United Front Work Department of Guangyuan Municipal Committee, Long Zhaoxue, member of the Standing Committee of Guangyuan Municipal Committee and secretary general of Guangyuan Municipal Committee, and Wu Yong, deputy mayor of Guangyuan Municipal Government attended the investigation, accompanied by Li Weilin and Zou Xingwang, leaders of Huaihua Municipal Government.
He Shuping and his delegation respectively visited the Planning Exhibition Hall of Huaihua International Land Port, Multimodal Transport Center, Main Port Area and Huaihua West Marshalling Station, Exhibition Hall of Huaihua International Luggage and Leather Goods, Cross-border E-commerce Industrial Park, etc., to gain a detailed understanding of the integrated development of land port, city and industries.
During the investigation, He Shuping congratulated Huaihua City on its achievements in economic and social development in recent years, especially in the construction of international land port and the development of port related industries. He said that both Guangyuan and Huaihua are national comprehensive transportation hub cities and important node cities of the "Belt and Road Initiative" and the country's new western land-sea corridor, and both of them have been selected as national logistics hubs, so they share many similarities in their development. In recent years, Guangyuan City, by deeply studying and implementing the important instructions of general secretary Xi Jinping during his visit to Sichuan and Guangyuan, and by conscientiously implementing the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and Sichuan Provincial Party Committee, has vigorously implemented the "1345" development strategy, so as to promote the transformation of channel advantages into economic ones. Now, Guanyuan strives to accelerate the construction of a national regional logistics hub economic zone by focusing on building the Western Bulk Material Logistics and Trade Center, Jialing River Upstream Public Iron Freight Multimodal Transport Center, "Belt and Road Initiative" International Freight Train Group Base, and National High-speed Rail Express Innovation and Development Demonstration Base. He hoped that Huaihua and Guangyuan can, by fully leveraging their respective geographical advantages, join hands to integrate into the construction of the New Western Land-Sea Trade Corridor, so as to actively serve the "dual circulation" of the national economy, and unleash new development momentum through high-level open cooperation.
Xu Zhongjian welcomed He Shuping and his delegation to visit Huaihua. Xu said that Huaihua is the only intersection point of the New Western Land-Sea Trade Corridor and the Shanghai-Kunming International Trade Corridor in the central China, and is the junction of the rise of the central region and the Western Development Strategy. Currently, we are deeply studying and implementing the important speeches and instructions of general secretary Xi Jinping on Hunan's affairs, fully implementing the decisions and deployments of the Party Central Committee and Hunan provincial party committee and government. With the goal of achieving “Three Highlands and Four Innovations” blueprint and “Five New Missions and Four Orientations” strategy, we are making great efforts to build an international land port with characteristic cold chain logistics by actively connecting and integrating into the New Western Land-Sea Trade Corridor, so as to create a landmark project of inland reform and opening up highland and an important gateway for Hunan's deep integration into the joint construction of the "Belt and Road Initiative" of the country. Huaihua and Guangyuan are both national comprehensive transportation hubs and important nodes of the New Western Land-Sea Trade Corridor, so we hope that both cities would strengthen cross regional exchanges and cooperation to enhance vitality through expanding domestic and foreign opening up and accelerating high-quality development, and ultimately to promote New Western Land-Sea Trade Corridor to a higher level.
