Free trade port efforts gain traction

Ministry to come up with policies to speed process 'as soon as possible'

China will step up efforts to accelerate free trade port construction this year, a further step to build on the success of free trade zones across the country, the Ministry of Commerce said.

Assistant Minister of Commerce Ren Hongbin said one of the ministry's priorities in 2019 is to advance the building of free trade zones and explore steps to construct free trade ports in China.
