During the annual meeting of Boao Forum for Asia this year, two Hainan theme sub-forums will continue to be held. Among them, the Global Free Trade Port Development Forum, with the theme of "system opening and free trade", widely invited representatives from Hong Kong, Dubai Jebel Ali Free Zone, Jeju International Free City, Sihanoukville Free Zone and 20 domestic free trade pilot zones to participate in the discussion.
Different from previous years, this year's Global Free Trade Port Development Forum cancelled the speech session and completely adopted the form of interactive dialogue, giving guests enough time to speak and realizing the collision of views. The "Dialogue with Hainan" sub-forum will focus on China (Hainan)-ASEAN tropical agricultural cooperation and its prospects.
Both ASEAN countries and Hainan are located in the tropics. The sub-forum will discuss their respective advantages in resource endowment, technology, management and market, and how to make full use of the superposition effect of preferential policies of RCEP and free trade port, discuss policy communication and docking, promote trade and investment, strengthen scientific and technological support, promote agricultural cooperation with tropical characteristics covering the whole industry, and make contributions to building a closer China-ASEAN destiny community.
