The city of Lianyungang has carved out an innovative road through reform and opening up by bringing into full play its role of being one of the country’s first coastal open cities and tapping into the Jiangsu coastal development as national strategy.
Lianyungang has played a pivotal role over the past four decades by constantly improving the functional positioning of the port, forming a development pattern of "one port, four zones" and "one body and two wings", and giving full play to its geographical advantages in the construction of the Belt and Road initiative.
The port city has adhered to the development of its port industries and open economy for the improvement of the people's livelihood, embarking on an innovative and green development path.
Since the opening of the 18th CPC National Congress, the cargo volume of China-Kazakhstan International Logistics Base has grown by leaps and bounds. It has also come up with three hundred-billion-yuan industrial clusters in petrochemical, metallurgical and equipment manufacturing sectors.
Construction on the express highway, the high-speed railway, the airport and the port infrastructures is in full swing to come up with a three-dimensional traffic pattern.
Entering the new era, Lianyungang is making aggressive efforts to write a new chapter in its high-quality development by following the guidance of Xi Jinping's new era of socialism with Chinese characteristics.
It is necessary to speed up the law of development law, highlight innovation-powered delopment, adhere to green development, help people increase income, and promote the completion of the goals and tasks so as to make Lianyungang a prosperous, livable, modern, and internationalized port city, said Xiang Xuelong, secretary of the CPC Municipal Committee.
