Chongqing advisors proposed the development of a preferential economic area in the municipality during the national "two sessions" in Beijing.
The Liangjiang New Area plays a significant role in the development of Chongqing's preferential economic area, said Tang Zongwei, deputy secretary of the Liangjiang New Area Party committee, at the national two sessions.
To better serve the new area's investors, Liangjiang has made a big progress in promoting the local policy approval taxation, finance and administration. An international standard investment environment has also been created in Liangjiang.
Liangjiang has put great emphasis on improving its transportation connections. The Chongqing-Xinjiang-Europe Railway, which essentially connects Liangjiang with European countries, has been in operation for two years. The Yangtze Golden Waterway has connected Shanghai with Chongqing, making the connection to the Pacific. The Chongqing-Kunming Express Railway will also connect Liangjiang with South Asia and Southeast Asia.
