Zones to push reform and opening-up

State Council meeting identifies key policies to boost development of areas

China will move faster to boost innovation in its national economic and technological development zones in terms of openness, technology and institution building to cultivate new pacesetters in the country's reform and opening-up, the State Council's executive meeting chaired by Premier Li Keqiang decided on Wednesday.

"There is still much untapped potential in our economic development zones. We must see that their industrial and institutional advantages formed over the years are fully leveraged and nurture new drivers of economic growth," Li said.
