Dai Ying summarized the seminar on behalf of the university. She pointed out that the epidemic prevented people from all over the world from traveling, but it could not stop the transmission of friendship between each other. She hopes that the participants can bring the knowledge and experience gained during the training to their compatriots, unswervingly hold high the banner of globalization, improve the level of trade facilitation in the country, and promote the continuous development of multilateral and bilateral trade.
Han Bo believes that with the support of the Pudong Science and Economic Commission and the leaders of the Free Trade Union Development, as the first free trade zone offshore technology and innovation platform in China, Kechuang No.1 Free Trade Zone should make full use of the Yangshan Special Protection Zone in the Lingang New Area. It should explore the development model of offshore science and technology innovation and construct the operation of offshore science and technology innovation projects in terms of technology offshore, cargo offshore, talent offshore and capital offshore. He looks forward to carrying out more cooperation projects with the “Belt and Road” countries through such seminars.
