5、 Efforts will be made to enhance the level of collaborative linkage in the pilot free trade zone. We fully support the Office of the Inter Ministerial Joint Conference of the State Council Pilot Free Trade Zone to better play a coordinating role, accelerate the formation of a strong joint force to promote the construction of the pilot free trade zone, and jointly focus on tackling and breaking through major reform and opening up pilot tasks. Strengthen the complementary advantages and win-win cooperation of the national pilot free trade zones, promote institutional innovation, exchange and cooperation, learn from each other, and jointly promote deepening reforms at a higher starting point and higher-level opening up to the outside world.
