To quicken the pace of opening to the world and quickly develop the west region is a powerful motive force to our foreign economy and trade. Absorbing the foreign investment also occupied the important position in our national economic development. It has become the whole society's common understanding that carrying on the policy of opening to the world and developing the foreign economy and trade are the major aid to the development of China's economy. Due to many reasons the west region is totally backward in China's economic development compared with the east region. As for opening to the world, especially for the scale and level of the development of foreign economy and trade the west region also has a big difference from the east region.
Difference is potential power and also is the pressure and motive force.
In order to engage in the west exploration we must take it as a major thing to explore based on the policy of opening to the world. To expand the foreign economy and trade of west region will form a structure of opening to the world in all aspects. We have to deepen the reform by our opening thoughts, we have to build up the economic system of marketing by our opening view, and we have to create the huge-step developing advantage by our opening attitude. To fit the new situation of our entering WTO soon and to positively take part in the process of global economy is a new developing opportunity of promoting strategic exploration in the west of China. Nowadays the global economy is the objective trend in the development of the world economy.
