From the perspective of space support, Yibin, Chengdu and Chongqing constitute the "golden triangle" of economic development. Yibin is located at the central apex of the "X" intersection of the four major cities of Chengdu, Chongqing, Guizhou and Kunming. It forms a balanced "spatial triangle" with the two polar nuclei of Chengdu and Chongqing, which can form a stable triangle for promoting the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing region's dual-city economic circle. Support and linkage radiation.

From the perspective of industrial support, Yibin is an important advanced manufacturing base in the country.

At present, there are 12 universities including the Graduate School of Sichuan University; 12 scientific research institutions such as Yibin Tongji Automobile Research Institute, and workstations such as Ouyang Minggao and Deng Zhonghan. The scientific and educational resources and innovation capabilities have become a strong support for the development of Yibin's emerging industries and opening to the outside world. .

From the perspective of transportation support, Yibin is a clear national comprehensive transportation hub, one of 63 national comprehensive transportation hubs, and the only prefecture-level city among the four provinces (cities) of Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan, and Guizhou that is included in the country’s 50 railway hubs. , One of the three main passages of the new western land-sea channel, and one of the cities in the western region with three-dimensional transportation of rail, road, water and air.

From the perspective of open support, Yibin is the southward opening hub gateway and open highland along the Yangtze River in the Chengdu-Chongqing area. Yibin is one of the 66 national regional circulation node cities, and the southward opening hub gateway of Sichuan as determined by the provincial party committee. It has built a national temporary open port, China's Sichuan Pilot Free Trade Zone Yibin Cooperative Zone, Yibin Comprehensive Bonded Zone, and a national economic and technological development zone. And the first provincial-level new district is one of the regions in the province that has the most conditions to build a national-level new district.

From the perspective of urban support, Yibin is a regional center city on the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, with a strong population and economic carrying capacity.

Six major measures: building the "three centers" goal

Reporter: In accordance with the spirit of the Seventh Plenary Session of the Eleventh Provincial Party Committee, Yibin put forward the goal of "building the provincial economic sub-center by 2021, the Chengdu-Chongqing regional economic sub-center and the upper reaches of the Yangtze River in 2025". What will Yibin focus on?

Liu Zhongbo: The first is to build the Sanjiang New District with high quality and make every effort to become the core engine of the economic sub-center of Chongqing. Closely follow the positioning of the "four districts", and accelerate the construction of a high-energy platform and high-quality growth pole for Yibin to integrate into the Chengdu-Chongqing double-city economic circle. By 2025, strive for the regional GDP to exceed 100 billion yuan, and strive to build the third state-level new district along the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.

The second is to build a high-quality modern transportation city and make every effort to build a national comprehensive transportation hub. Accelerate the formation of a comprehensive transportation system with smooth internal and external connections and rivers and seas.

The third is to make every effort to become a demonstration city in Yu Park. High-standard and high-quality development and construction of new urban areas and key areas such as Sanjiang New District, Southern New District, and Minjiang New District.

The fourth is to build an economically strong city with high quality. Unswervingly implement the "two-wheel drive for industrial development" strategy, focusing on building 200 billion yuan in food and beverage, 150 billion yuan in electronic information, 150 billion yuan in advanced materials, 100 billion yuan in equipment manufacturing, 100 billion yuan in energy and chemical industries, and other leading industries to promote Yibin From a large industrial city to a strong industrial city.

Fifth, build a high-quality national demonstration city for integration of production and education. Promote the construction of the University City Science and Technology Innovation City, and actively participate in the construction of the Science and Technology Innovation Corridor of the Western China Science City and the Chengdu-Chongqing Double City Economic Circle.

Sixth, high-quality construction is the hub of Chongqing's southward opening. Regarding investment promotion as the most direct and important starting point for economic and social development, centering on the development of leading industries and industrial chains such as electronic information, automobiles, and new materials, we will accelerate the construction of a relatively complete industrial chain in the region. Carry out in-depth regional cooperation and continuously improve the level of open economy.

Comprehensive integration: relying on Chengdu and Chongqing to promote the integrated development of southern Sichuan

Reporter: In accelerating the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing dual-city economic circle, how will Yibin handle the integration relationship with Chongqing and Chengdu? How does Yibin cooperate with southern Sichuan cities?

Liu Zhongbo: We put forward the work orientation of “relying on Chengdu and Chongqing and integrating into southern Sichuan” and integrate into the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing dual-city economic circle in an all-round way.

One is to rely closely on Chengdu's lead. Chengdu and Yibin signed a "1+13" cooperation agreement in October 2018, such as the cooperation agreement for the establishment of a major equipment manufacturing industrial park in Yibin. In May of this year, they signed the promotion of the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing dual-city economic circle to jointly build a pilot demonstration city for cross-regional cooperation. Waiting for the "1+5+2" cooperation agreement, the cooperation is getting closer and the field is expanding. In terms of functional platforms, promote cross-regional coordination and linkage of major functional platforms in Chengdu and Yibin to jointly build a high-level cooperation carrier. In terms of industrial layout, Yibin, as an important base for supply chain, chain extension and strong chain of Chengdu industry, will jointly create an industrial ecosystem. In terms of southward opening, we will jointly organize investment promotion and exhibition activities at home and abroad to jointly promote the construction of a headquarters base for the coordinated development of the Sichuan region and create a pilot area for Sichuan’s southward opening cooperation. At the same time, we have established a joint meeting system with Chengdu to exchange and cooperate regularly to form a regular and long-term mechanism.

The second is to actively seek support from Chongqing. Since June this year, Yibin has signed cooperation agreements with Chongqing Development and Reform Commission, Liangjiang New District, Chongqing Medical University, Southwest University and other institutions. At the same time, Yibin strives to strengthen the coordinated development of cities in western Chongqing, and further enhance its ability to radiate and drive cities in the junction of Sichuan, Chongqing, Yunnan and Guizhou.

The third is to coordinate the integrated development of the Southern Sichuan Economic Zone. The four urban areas in southern Sichuan are well equipped in terms of location advantages, transportation conditions, industrial foundation, technological innovation, education and medical care. The cities in each region have similar scales and levels, converge in spatial forms, and have a high level of regional economic integration. Unique advantages of river basin economy. We adhere to the complementary and coordinated development of industries; adhere to the interconnection of infrastructure to ensure the completion of the Chengyi Expressway on schedule, and accelerate the construction of the Yibin section of the Ziyi high-speed railway (South Sichuan Intercity Railway) and the Chongqing-Kunming high-speed railway; adhere to the mutual protection and common governance of the ecological environment to construct the region Eco-environmental information sharing platform; adhere to the co-construction and sharing of public services, explore the promotion of social security "all-in-one card" services, formulate a plan for the market entity "four cities in southern Sichuan" to actively promote the integration of government services. Through these measures, efforts will be made to build the Southern Sichuan Economic Zone into a secondary growth pole of the Chengdu-Chongqing dual-city economic circle, a superior location for population and industries in the Chengdu-Chongqing region, an important functional supporting area for the Chengdu-Chongqing dual core, and a southward export to the sea in the Chengdu-Chongqing region. And the bridgehead opened along the Yangtze River will make new contributions to the governance of Shu and Xingchuan to a new level. Yibin will also achieve greater deeds in building a new development pattern. Editor/Xu Shengpeng
