URUMQI, June 4 (Xinhua) — The Commerce Department of northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and eight other regional departments on Thursday jointly released a plan for the implementation of the smart checkpoint project, which aims to comprehensively promote the modernization of checkpoints.
The plan is divided into three stages: by 2025, the Horgos, Alashankou and Urumqi air ports will basically be modernized and intelligent; by 2030, they will reach the national advanced level in terms of informatization; and by 2035, a system of intelligent ports that adapts to the requirements of China’s modernization and maintains high-level opening up to the outside world will be fully built.
The plan also includes measures such as improving convenience for foreign trade enterprises, establishing a platform for operating freight trains on China-Europe international freight routes, promoting the connectivity of Xinjiang’s checkpoints with neighboring Central Asian countries, and formulating standards for the construction of smart checkpoints.
Wu Songli, deputy director of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region Portal Administration Office, noted that Xinjiang is located in the core area of the Belt and Road. In the future, it will be necessary to further strengthen the joint use of portal facilities, equipment and data, and comprehensively increase their throughput capacity, thereby contributing to promoting overall opening-up to the outside world and promoting high-quality socio-economic development in Xinjiang. -0-
