Building Inner Mongolia into an important bridgehead for China's opening to the north is a strategic positioning tailored for Inner Mongolia from the perspective of coordinating the two overall domestic and international situations, and it is also a realistic need for Inner Mongolia to promote a higher level of opening up and promote high-quality development with high-level opening up.
Since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Inner Mongolia has given full play to its regional advantages, made great efforts to build an important bridgehead for China to open to the north, and made great efforts to form a global open platform that connects the inside and outside, radiates the surrounding areas, gathers and distributes resources, and integrates factors.
The "transportation network" inside and outside China Unicom is becoming more and more dense, the "relationship network" of regional cooperation is getting bigger and bigger, and the "circle of friends" on the "Belt and Road" is getting wider and wider, providing all-round services, integrating into domestic and foreign markets, and constantly creating a new development situation.
Inner Mongolia has become an important bridgehead for China to open to the north;
Historically, Inner Mongolia was an important hub and passage of the "Prairie Silk Road" and the "Wanli Tea Ceremony", and now it is an important node of the China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor and an important gateway to the new land and sea passage in western China.
According to Bao, vice chairman of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, Inner Mongolia is located in the "Three Norths", bordering on Russia and Mongolia, which has the unique advantage of opening up along the border and is the frontier of China's opening up to the north. "This is the greatest strength and advantage of Inner Mongolia's high-level and all-round opening to the outside world to promote high-quality economic and social development."
According to statistics, at present, Inner Mongolia has established trade relations with more than 60 countries and regions, and the number of ports open to the outside world has increased to 20, with more than 300 trains originating from China and more than 7,300 trains transiting Europe, making it the province with the largest number of ports in China and the largest freight volume at border land ports.
