A political consultative conference was held on Jan 15 where scholars discussed how to develop Shanghai Free Trade Zone into an opener, higher-level and internationally influential area.

Hang Yingwei, vice secretary of Shanghai government proposes for all the staff in departments of Pudong to work on four main aspects in order to achieve the above mentioned goal.

First, Pudong's overall development is inextricably related to the situation of Free Trade Zone and without a favorable economic environment or an active market, the improvement would be impossible.

Second, Pudong should spare no effort in innovating and the government should have an adventurous spirit to change the unsuitable economical or political systems.

Third, a pleasant natural environment is beneficial to economic development, thus environment protection is also an issue that the government should take into consideration.

Fourth, as Pudong has been appointed as a place for testing the effectiveness of free trade, signifying that it plays an exemplary role in opening-up and reform. Its experience is important for free trade zones in the other places of China. Therefore, it should create a feasible plan for other districts to follow.
