We must foster the development of tertiary industry by following market-orientation, expanding industrialization and encouraging socialized services.

First, we must make the development of modern logistics as a priority. Overall planning should be made to establish inter-provincial logistics centers and corridors. We must establish and improve information platform for logistics and distribution facilities, and promote the use of information technologies in business logistics management. We must speed up the construction of international logistics center in Dalian and regional logistics centers in Shenyang, Changchun, Haerbin and Tongliao, thus establishing an integrated logistics system in Northeast China.
