Focusing on "two markets and two resources", we should make full use of the inter-regional international cooperation mechanism, closely combine the development and utilization of overseas mineral resources with the development of regional economic cooperation, rely on regional key ports and Kuibei Railway, and focus on the goal put forward by the construction of special zones, that is, build regional mining industrial parks into deep processing bases for nonferrous metals, rare metals and characteristic nonmetals, and build Fuyun mining industrial parks into deep processing bases for ferrous metals and rare metals. With the goal of building Habahe into a non-ferrous metal deep processing base and Jimunai into an energy base, and focusing on energy minerals such as oil, natural gas and coal and solid minerals such as copper, nickel, lead, zinc, molybdenum, tungsten, chromium, manganese, gold and phosphorus, we will speed up the introduction, development and utilization of mineral resources in surrounding areas, comprehensively improve the level and level of mining cooperation with neighboring countries, and strive to make this area a Xinjiang developed and utilized by Russia and Kazakhstan.
First, government guidance.
The mutual utilization of resources is completed on the basis of understanding reached by governments. Autonomous regions and local governments should make full use of the geographical advantages of neighboring countries, strengthen cooperation with neighboring countries, understand and study their mining development needs, make full use of this advantage, develop border trade, give tax concessions to importers of mineral products, and promote enterprises to develop and utilize the resources of neighboring countries. Therefore, we should give full play to the guiding and leading role of the government. First, strengthen intergovernmental dialogue, make use of the established China-Russia Harmon International Coordinating Committee for Regional Cooperation, and hold international seminars on scientific and technological cooperation and development in Altai region on a regular basis to communicate information, enhance mutual trust, and create a friendly atmosphere for promoting bilateral economic and trade cooperation. The second is to strengthen the contact with the mining departments of neighboring countries and promote exchanges and cooperation in the mining field. Third, take the opportunity of the Wuqi Fair and the "Four Countries and Six Parties" Forum on Science, Technology and Economic Cooperation to hold bilateral or multilateral mining investment cooperation, project negotiation, discussion and exchange activities regularly and irregularly. Fourth, actively promote navigation and customs clearance with neighboring countries and regions and improve bilateral traffic conditions.
In order to strengthen trade with neighboring countries, the government can strengthen discussion and research in the following aspects.
(1) Actively strive for investment from overseas risk exploration funds of the state and the autonomous region.
Altai Mountain metallogenic belt is located in China, and it is one of the national key metal prospecting belts in 16, and its exploration and development are developing in depth. The neighboring areas of western Mongolia and neighboring countries should also be listed as the key areas invested by the national overseas risk exploration fund, so as to guide domestic enterprises to explore and develop mineral resources in this area, promote horizontal exchanges and comparisons, and achieve a new breakthrough in Altay's prospecting.
(2) Infrastructure construction
In June, 2009, a delegation of Altay regional government visited and inspected the Mongolian provinces of Kobdo and Bayan Houlle. On the basis of mutual exchanges between the two sides, it is necessary to further strengthen investment in infrastructure construction such as roads, electricity and port construction, and fundamentally improve the "hardware" conditions for exchanges and cooperation with neighboring countries.
"Four countries and six parties" cooperation is particularly urgent in the field of transportation. The goal of cooperation is to gradually establish a regional transportation network with roads, railways and aviation as the main modes, which is suitable for economic trade, resource development and tourism development. The circular land traffic between China, Mongolia, Russia and Kazakhstan has been formed, but the road conditions in Mongolia are poor. In order to promote the "four countries and six parties" cooperation, it is necessary to coordinate traffic management, rebuild and transform poor road sections, and improve the traffic capacity and efficiency of circular land traffic corridors. Strengthen the demonstration of port opening and channel construction. At present, there is no direct channel between China and Russia, which makes the opening of Kanas port between China and Russia put on the agenda. Strengthen the construction of Hongshanzui Port. Hongshanzui Port between China and Mongolia is the only passage from Altay region to Bayan Houlle Gai province of Mongolia, and it is also the closest port to Russia in western China at present, with broad development prospects. However, the construction of storage equipment, transfer time, environmental protection along the way, inspection and quarantine are seriously inadequate, which limits its role. Therefore, the construction of Hongshanzui Port is very important for the development of mining special zones.
At the same time, the Mongolian government has increased the infrastructure construction in the western economic zone. First, the construction of Yalant Port in central Mongolia and Chagannor Port in Mongolia has been increased. Now these two ports, such as the tourist inspection office and the cargo inspection office, are fully functional, greatly improving the customs clearance capacity of the ports. The second is to improve the traffic conditions in Cobdo and Bayan URI provinces. In 20 10, the expansion of the airport in Kobdo province will be completed, and Mongolia will also consider opening flights to Urumqi and Altay in Xinjiang. Third, efforts should be made to improve the road conditions in and out of the two provinces. At present, the asphalt road from Takshken Port to Bulgan County is 45 kilometers, and Bayan Uliegai to Chagannur Port is 35 kilometers (94 kilometers in total).
(C) the establishment of a long-term exchange mechanism
Through the transnational scientific and technological cooperation between China, Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia in Altai region, the visibility of Altai region has gradually increased, which will also attract the attention of the international community, the governments of China, Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia and relevant experts on the sustainable development of this region, which is conducive to creating a more relaxed environment and providing a broader space for the in-depth development of scientific and technological economic cooperation among many countries in Altai region.
Adhere to the dominant position of enterprises in foreign cooperation. "The government sets up the stage, the enterprise sings the opera" is a basic experience to promote domestic and foreign cooperation, which must be unswervingly adhered to. Due to giving full play to the role of enterprises, two government-led and enterprise-led delegation visits to East Kazakhstan, Kobdo and Bayan Urigai in Altay region from May to June 2007 achieved good results, which further confirmed this point. In order to promote the mining cooperation between Altay region and western Mongolia, the government should take the lead in coordinating and organizing enterprises to set up mining companies or representative offices in western Mongolia, keep abreast of the mining development trends, mining rights market and policy information in Mongolia, and guide enterprises to carry out multi-level and wide-ranging cooperation with Mongolia.
(4) protection and construction of ecological environment
Nowadays, environmental protection has become the common program of all countries. Altai Mountain System is one of the few mountain biospheres and natural landscape areas with considerable scale in the world today, and its protection is of worldwide significance. In the process of resource development and industrialization, efforts should be made to reduce environmental damage and industrial pollution. Before the obvious destruction, the four countries need to adopt the same policies and measures in this area to ensure the sustainable development of the natural environment and biodiversity in this area.
Based on the integrity of the ecological environment in Altay region, the cooperation in the field of ecological environment should first formulate the principles and measures of compliance, clarify the principle of sustainable development, solve major environmental problems through intergovernmental consultation and coordination, strengthen the public welfare promotion of environmental cooperation and environmental technology application, and establish a mechanism for people to participate in ecological environment protection under the leadership of the government.
The establishment of cross-border nature reserves should provide sufficient conditions for the protection of cross-border biological groups and maintain the ecosystem needed for biological survival. Formulate medium-and long-term plans for environmental protection construction and policies that the four countries will abide by, including the construction and management of nature reserves, the development and utilization of ecological resources, and scientific and technological cooperation and exchanges in environmental protection. Evaluate major eco-environmental cooperation projects, and coordinate and supervise their implementation. Local governments should strengthen guidance and organically combine international eco-environmental cooperation projects with domestic eco-environmental protection actions.
Second, talent exchange.
Science and technology are advancing by leaps and bounds, and international competition is becoming increasingly fierce. It is not only the competition of science and technology, but also the competition of talents, that is, the competition of talent quantity and quality. We should strengthen the efforts to train and attract talents and strengthen the exchange and cooperation of international talents, so as to enhance China's competitiveness and promote the exchange and cooperation in the mining industry.
The cooperation of the "four countries and six parties" depends to a great extent on the exchange and training of personnel. The "four countries and six parties" should strengthen cooperation and establish a sound cooperation mechanism. The government departments of the "four countries and six parties" can create more convenient and relaxed environmental conditions for them through agreements, such as facilitating entry and exit conditions for personnel exchanges and training, and taking measures to provide security for foreigners. For the flow of people encouraged by the policy, the receiving country should extend its residence period appropriately; Under the conditions of our ability, we can provide targeted grants for international students and graduate students, or exchange graduate students and international students with the consent of the government.
At present, the four countries have international students studying in each other's countries every year, and they also hold international summer camps for young people, creating good opportunities for exchanges and cooperation. However, judging from the situation in recent years, the exchange of personnel between Altay region and neighboring countries is mainly limited to the exchange of business people and government officials, and there is little exchange of personnel training.
(A) to strengthen the exchange of talents in official organizations
Strengthen talent exchange by signing scientific and technological cooperation and economic cooperation agreements, strengthen talent training in the SAR and neighboring countries with government funding, strengthen exchanges between experts and scholars through exchanges, and support various forms of visits or lectures by government officials and experts.
(B) to strengthen the training of local talents
It is suggested that Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region give special preferential treatment to mining special zones. Under the condition of providing necessary funds and security, the Construction Committee of Mining Special Zones will send local professionals to Russia, Kazakhstan and Mongolia for exchange and study every year to strengthen the training of professional translators. In view of the fact that the official languages of the countries around Altay are Mongolian, Russian and Kazakh, and they are deeply infiltrated with each other, we should strengthen the training of professionals in these three languages, advocate the research on their culture, ideas and folk customs, and lay the foundation for promoting extensive cooperation in mining and other fields.
Third, information * * *
Information is an important strategic resource in today's society, and economic informatization has become the basic trend of the development of productive forces in the world. Information is also the basis for exchanges and cooperation between mining special zones and neighboring countries. Through various forms of communication platforms, it provides opportunities for the rational use of resources. The main forms of information exchange include mutual visits of delegations, investigation and study, special meetings and online exchanges.
(A) the establishment of resource information system
Information system consists of information sources, communication platforms and application information services, which can provide economic, scientific, cultural and legal information resources, complete the processing, transmission, exchange and distribution of various information, connect social institutions, government departments and commercial enterprises by providing information services, form a public network that becomes a new order in the digital world, and realize resource sharing. At present, it is necessary to further strengthen the construction of the resource information system of Altay Mining Special Zone, enrich the information content, ensure that it can provide services for all kinds of users, and create favorable conditions for resource cooperation among countries.
(B) the establishment of resource information network
In order to build a modern regional information system, it is necessary to establish Altay regional information resources and service platform. Because of the arduous task of the project, it is necessary to set up a transnational information coordination agency representing six local governments to make overall planning, overall layout and policy guidance at the government level. Under the principle of unified standards, realize the link between regional information networks and systems, establish the operation mechanism of cooperation, advantage integration and * * * sharing between regional platforms and regional information centers, and provide information on mining development situation, supply and demand situation, talent exchange, paper columns and so on, so as to realize the * * * sharing of information resources. Ensure the security of databases, information systems and information networks and the confidentiality of scientific and technological information.
Fourth, strengthen cooperative research.
Strengthen the research on the availability of resources in neighboring countries in Altay region. Regarding the utilization of resources in neighboring countries, Altay region has also had some scattered descriptions in the previous investigation reports of neighboring countries, and there are problems such as unsystematic data, weak continuity and poor status quo. It is suggested that the region should apply for soft science projects from the state, autonomous regions and other relevant departments, or establish projects in Altay region, and entrust scientific research institutes and universities to conduct systematic and in-depth research on the availability of resources such as agriculture, fishery, forestry, animal husbandry and minerals in neighboring countries. Effectively solve the problem of resource availability at the operational level and lay the foundation for building the regional center around Altai economy.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) makes rational use of the resources of neighboring countries.
(1) Give priority to strengthening mining cooperation with Mongolia.
Mongolia is rich in mineral resources and is in the development stage. The minerals invested by China in Mongolia mainly include gold, lead, zinc, iron ore, coal and oil. In recent years, some enterprises in Xinjiang, such as Xinjiang Kaiyuyuan Mining Company of Mongolia Energy (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd., have been engaged in the development of coal and solid minerals in western Mongolia. At present, three enterprises in the region are developing local mineral resources in Kobdo, Bayan Ulige and Ubud Su Sansheng in western Mongolia, and their operation is in good condition.
Judging from the current demand, copper, lead, zinc, gold, uranium, fluorite, phosphorus, coal, oil, natural gas, some building materials and ferrous minerals in Mongolia, especially in the western part of Mongolia, can be the focus of cooperation between the two sides. In the near future, we should do a good job in the development and utilization of nonferrous metals such as coal, coke, copper, lead, zinc and precious metals such as gold in western Mongolia, actively carry out the preliminary work of local oil and gas resources development, strengthen contacts with relevant departments and enterprises of the other government, speed up the cooperation process, and strive for greater breakthroughs in a short time.
(2) Focus on developing the mining market in Kazakhstan.
Kazakhstan is a country with great mining development potential in the world and a close neighbor of western China. Judging from the current resource demand, the mining cooperation with Kazakhstan should focus on minerals that are scarce in China and relatively scarce in the region, such as copper, chromium, tungsten, uranium, manganese, phosphorus and potassium salt. In the near future, we will actively do a good job in importing chromite in Aktobe area, so as to provide resource guarantee for Xinxing Cast Pipe Group to develop deep processing of iron resources. We should also actively introduce non-ferrous metals such as copper, lead, zinc, molybdenum, ferrous metals such as iron and manganese, and phosphate rocks from three surrounding areas, change the current cooperation form of simply importing mineral products, and strive to make it a resource supply place or resource reserve base for deep processing of regional mineral products.
(3) Actively expand mining cooperation with Russia.
Russia is one of the countries with the richest mineral resources in the world, with great development potential. At present, all states and frontier regions in the Siberian Federal District have identified the development and utilization of mineral resources as key development industries, providing accurate and reliable information to foreign investors, providing mines and oil and gas fields with good natural conditions and leasing them to foreign investors. All these measures provide a prerequisite for us to enter Siberia to develop and utilize resources.
Judging from the current development situation, the focus of cooperation should be Altai Territory, Altai Republic and Novosibirsk in the Western Siberian Economic Zone, and gradually expand to the Far East and other regions. Identify areas of cooperation, such as oil, natural gas, coal, iron ore, copper, lead, zinc, potassium salt, etc. To provide resources for deep processing in the special zone. On June 5438+ 10, 2009, China and Russia formally signed a natural gas trade agreement, and the construction of natural gas pipeline between China and Russia will start on June 20 1 1, in which the west line enters from Altay, with an annual gas transmission capacity of 40 billion m3. By then, with the accelerated construction of supporting roads and Kanas Port, a more favorable environment will be created for the mining special zones to use "two markets and two resources".
