Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle is located in southwestern China. The twin cities of Chongqing and Chengdu provide the driving force in the promotion of coordinated regional development.
The economic circle was founded on January 3, 2020, as part of the national strategy.
It will act as a growth pole for high-quality development in western China and create an inland strategic high ground for opening-up.
Work will be done to turn the Chengdu-Chongqing area into an important economic center for scientific and technological innovation, a new high ground for reform and opening up, and a location for a high-quality lifestyle.
Through expansive international logistic channels, the Chengdu-Chongqing area is well connected with the rest of the world. The area is at the intersection of the Belt and Road and the Yangtze River Economic Belt. Westwards, there is the China-Europe Express to Europe. Eastwards, the China-Europe freight railway continues along with the golden waterway of the Yangtze River. Southwards, there is the New International Land-Sea Trade Corridor to Singapore and other ASEAN countries. Northwards, there is an international train route to Russia.
The development of the Chengdu-Chongqing economic circle is a systematic project involving transport infrastructure construction, modern industrial systems, collaborative and innovative development, land space layout, ecological and environmental protection, system innovation, joint construction and sharing of public services.
