my country has reached 19 free trade agreements
Wang Shouwen, Vice Minister of Commerce and Deputy Representative of International Trade Negotiations, introduced at the press conference that so far, my country has reached 19 free trade agreements and signed free trade agreements with 26 countries and regions. In the future, opening up will be further expanded and more free trade agreements will be signed.
Wang Shouwen said that the signing of the free trade agreement has a significant effect on expanding my country s trade and investment relations with free trade partners and stabilizing my country s basic foreign trade and foreign investment. In 2012, free trade agreements accounted for only 12.3% of my country s foreign trade. By 2020, free trade agreement partners accounted for nearly 35% of my country's total foreign trade. Last year, the epidemic had a great impact on global foreign trade, but my country s trade volume with free trade agreement partners increased by 3.2%, and trade with non-free trade agreement partners only increased by 0.8%, so the free trade agreement’s role in foreign trade Is very significant.
In addition, the signing of the free trade agreement has further tightened the economic and trade relations between my country and its free trade partners, which has played a very good role in my country s opening up to the outside world.
Wang Shouwen said that in the next phase, the existing free trade agreements, including the Singapore Free Trade Agreement and the South Korean Free Trade Agreement, will be further upgraded. At the same time, speed up the pace of new free trade agreement negotiations, including the China-Japan-Korea free trade agreement negotiations, China and the GCC, and the free trade agreement negotiations with Israel and Norway, and are actively considering the work of joining the CPTPP.
