Wan Gang delivered a keynote speech at the opening ceremony

On behalf of the Zhigong Party Central Committee, Wan Gang first extended a warm welcome to the guests, experts and scholars attending the forum. He pointed out that the implementation of the new development concept and the construction of a new development pattern are based on the major strategic decisions made by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core in accordance with the historical tasks and environmental conditions of China's new development stage, which are related to China's development prospects. The construction of an inland open economic pilot zone is an effective way to accelerate the formation of a new pattern of land-sea internal and external linkages and east-west mutual assistance. It is an important measure for China to deepen a new round of high-level opening up, and it will definitely better implement the inland regions. New development concepts, integrate into the new development pattern, achieve high-quality development, and explore new experiences and new ways.

Wan Gang emphasized that, first, we must build the experimental area into an important node in the new dual-cycle development pattern. The domestic and international cycles are not isolated from each other, but are intertwined and connected, just like a figure of eight, and the connecting point in the middle is very important. Blocked nodes will block circulation, and unblocked nodes can effectively promote high-quality economic development. Jiangxi must seize the opportunity, persist in system and mechanism reform, persist in system innovation, persist in highlighting characteristics, and actively integrate into the new dual-cycle development pattern. Second, we must rely on innovation to drive development and highlight the leadership of digital elements. Strengthen special support for the digital transformation of traditional industries, increase support for key areas of the digital economy such as the industrial Internet, strengthen strategic emerging industries, create "new highlands" for innovation and entrepreneurship, and build "new depressions" where talents gather. Third, we must build consensus on low-carbon development and release the potential for kinetic energy conversion. Regarding the conversion of new and old kinetic energy as the “master hand” to promote high-quality development, we will do a good job of carbon sink technology and application, build an ecological product value accounting mechanism, and promote the realization of ecological value. Fourth, we must promote the interconnection of facilities and build a modern logistics system. Speed up the construction of comprehensive transportation channels and important hub facilities, and form a modern transportation logistics system that efficiently connects multiple transportation modes such as railways, highways, and aviation.

Jiang Zuojun presided over the opening ceremony of the forum

Jiang Zuojun pointed out that speeding up the construction of a new development pattern with the domestic cycle as the main body and the domestic and international double cycles mutually promoting each other is a major strategy made by the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China with General Secretary Xi Jinping as the core in the context of the world facing major changes unseen in a century. Deployment is also a major strategic task related to China's overall development in China's 14th Five-Year Plan. We must further expand the main position of opening up in depth, optimize the formation of a high-level opening layout featuring land-sea internal and external linkages, east-west two-way mutual assistance, and implement wider, broader, and deeper opening up to the outside world. In April last year, the establishment of the Jiangxi inland open economic pilot zone was approved by the State Council, and Jiangxi became the third inland open pilot zone in the country after Ningxia and Guizhou. As an important inland province in China, Jiangxi Province has unique geographical advantages, ecological endowments and cultural heritage. It has a lot to do in integrating the dual cycle and promoting the new development pattern.

Yin Meigen delivered a speech at the opening ceremony of the forum

In his speech at the opening ceremony of the forum, Yin Meigen said that Jiangxi has been known as "Wu Head and Chu Tail, Cantonese Min Court" since ancient times, and has the unique geographical advantage of "connecting south to north, connecting east to west, and connecting rivers to seas". Since the approval of the Jiangxi Inland Open Economic Pilot Zone, the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial Government have attached great importance to it and issued a series of measures such as the pilot zone construction implementation plan, action plan, and annual work points to promote the construction of the pilot zone to achieve phased results. Jiangxi will persevere in advancing system and mechanism innovation, consolidating the foundation for opening up, strengthening open policy guarantees, actively undertaking industrial transfers, and optimizing the business environment, with a sense of urgency to wait for time, a sense of mission, and a sense of crisis if you don’t advance or retreat. Promote the construction of inland open economic pilot zones with high standards and high quality.

Cao Hongming made a concluding speech at the closing ceremony of the forum

Cao Hongming made a concluding speech at the closing ceremony. He integrated the opinions of leading experts and scholars in the forum and put forward five opinions on the construction of inland open economic pilot zones. The first is to build a high-level open channel to lay the foundation for the development of the pilot zone; the second is to build a multi-level open platform to consolidate the carrier support for the development of the pilot zone; the third is to play a leading role in scientific and technological innovation to promote the innovation chain and industry in the pilot zone The fourth is to explore and implement effective ways to achieve carbon peaks and carbon neutrality, and to draw a green background for high-quality development in the experimental area; the fifth is to create a good business environment and consolidate the strong synergy of the construction of the experimental area.

Xu Xiaolan made a speech on "Integrating into the dual cycle, promoting new development, and accelerating the construction of a new pattern of digital economy". Sun Lijian, Li Chao, Cheng Peng, Zhang Yansheng, Luo Zhifu, Hu Zhijian, Chen Zhenghong, Li Xinyu, Yang Decai, An Xuehui, Zhang Yihao, Nan Yin, Li Sheng, Wang Kan, Mo Wangui, Dai Xulong, Hu Xiaohai, Fu Qiang, Lu Jing, Sun Zhanxue Experts and scholars have spoken at the forum. They combined their research results to focus on the construction of inland open economic pilot zones, digital integration into the dual cycle to help small and medium-sized enterprises develop a new pattern, and intelligent travel to help achieve the "dual carbon goal" and high-quality development. With topics such as value chain finance, from the frontier theoretical perspective and rich practical level, the construction of the inland open economic pilot zone will be integrated into the dual cycle and the promotion of new development will be discussed.
