Q：“外交部發言人辦公室”消息，在11月7日外交部例行記者會上，總臺央視記者提問：昨天，聯合國貿易和發展會議發布題為《中國自貿試驗區在促進制度創新、產業轉型和南南合作中的作用》報告，高度評價中國自貿試驗區10年建設成就，肯定中國深化改革、擴大開放成果，認為這是中國獨特的創舉，為發展中國家提供了有益參考。中方對此有何評論？
A：汪文斌：我們注意到有關報告。這是國際組織首次圍繞中國自貿試驗區發布專題研究報告，表明中國自貿試驗區建設正受到越來越多的國際關注。報告提到，中國自貿試驗區提升投資和貿易便利化，促進創新和科技發展，擴大服務業和數字產業等重點領域對外開放，有效推動了政府服務改善和營商環境優化，助推了產業轉型升級，促進了外商投資增長，加速了中國開放和改革。
今年是中國自貿試驗區建設10周年。10年前，習近平主席統籌國內國際兩個大局，提出了建設自貿試驗區的戰略構想。10年來，中國自貿試驗區建設逐漸形成擁有22個自貿試驗區的“雁陣”，構建起統籌沿海、內陸、沿邊的改革開放新格局，成為中國高水平對外開放的顯著標志。中國自貿試驗區數量不斷擴大，也見證著中國深層次全方位對外開放程度不斷提升，建設更高水平開放型經濟的步伐日益堅定。
開放是人類文明進步的重要動力，是世界繁榮的必由之路，也是當代中國的鮮明標識。從45年前實行對外開放，再到22年前加入世貿組織；從10年前建設自貿試驗區，再到5年前開始舉辦進博會，中國對外開放的腳步從未停歇，同世界分享發展機遇的決心從未改變，致力于“拉手”“拆墻”而非“松手”“筑墻”的信心從未減弱。
中國將始終是世界發展的重要機遇，將堅定推進高水平對外開放，持續推動經濟全球化朝著更加開放、包容、普惠、平衡、共贏的方向發展。中國愿同各國一道，共同把全球市場的蛋糕做大，把全球共享的機制做實，把全球合作的方式做活，在開放的大舞臺上相向而行、相互成就，推動開放型世界經濟行穩致遠，讓合作共贏惠及世界。
Q：CCTV:?Yesterday?the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development?issued?a report titled?“The Role of China’s Pilot Free?Trade Zones in Promoting?Institutional Innovation,?Industrial Transformation and?South-South Cooperation”, which speaks highly of the success of China’s Pilot Free Trade Zones (FTZs) over the past decade and recognizes China’s fruitful efforts in deepening reform and expanding opening-up.?The Pilot FTZs were a unique development in China?and?can offer a reference point to other developing countries, the report says. What’s your comment on this?
A：Wang?Wenbin: We have noted the report. This is the first special report on China’s?Pilot Free?Trade Zones?(FTZs) by an international organization.?It?reflects the growing international interest in China’s Pilot FTZs. According to the report, China’s Pilot FTZs, through promoting investment and trade facilitation, developing innovation and technological capability, and expanding opening-up in key sectors such as services and the digital economy, have effectively improved government services and business environment, driven industrial transformation and upgrading, boosted FDI inflow, and accelerated China’s reform and opening-up.
This?year marks the 10th anniversary of the launch of Pilot FTZs in China. A decade ago, President Xi Jinping came up with this strategic vision?with?an aim to enhance China’s domestic development and international cooperation.?What?started a?decade ago has now grown into a constellation of 22 Pilot FTZs, providing a new pattern of reform and opening-up involving the coastal, inland and?border?regions. They have become a hallmark of China’s high-level opening-up. The growing number of Pilot FTZs also attests to the sustained progress in China’s?in-depth?and all-round opening-up and its determined steps in building an open economy at a higher level.
Openness is a key driving force behind the progress of human civilizations, an intrinsic?path toward?global prosperity and development, and also China’s hallmark in modern times. From?launching?the opening-up?program?45 years ago to?joining the WTO 22 years ago, from building the first free trade zone 10 years ago to the inaugural CIIE 5 years ago, China has never stopped its effort to pursue opening-up, never wavered?in?its determination of sharing development opportunities with the world and never undermined its confidence in?“joining hands” with each other instead of “letting go” of each other’s hands and “tearing down walls”, instead of “erecting walls”.?
China will remain an important opportunity for the?world’s development, stay committed to high-level opening up, and?make economic globalization more open, inclusive, balanced and beneficial for all. China stands ready to work with other countries to?make the pie of the global market even bigger, strengthen the mechanisms for sharing benefits globally, and explore new ways of international cooperation.?China hopes to work with the rest of the world to make efforts in the same direction and make mutual achievements on a grand stage of openness to achieve steady progress in building an open world economy and deliver benefits to the world through win-win cooperation.
Wang?Wenbin：China has never stopped its effort to pursue opening-up
