（InKunming Lexi）The foreign trade of the Kunming Free Trade Zone surpassed 10 billion yuan last year. This year, the Kunming Free Trade Zone aims to achieve a comprehensive ranking in annual development performance of the middle level in central and western China, and to achieve an average annual growth rate of over 10% in foreign trade from 2023 to 2025, and aims to become a signature opening platform for the development and construction along the China-Laos Railway.

Currently, the Kunming Free Trade Zone has initially built a "dual-wheel drive" of bonded logistics and bonded processing, a "2+1+N" industrial layout for the coordinated development of cross-border e-commerce and other bonded services. The Kunming Economic and Technological Development Zone and the Kunming Area of China (Yunnan) Pilot Free Trade Zone make innovative integration development, focusing on promoting the development of new forms of modern service industries, such as inspection and maintenance, aviation training, and cross-border e-commerce. The Kunming Airport Economic Zone and the Dian Zhong New Area make deep integration development, creating an airport comprehensive bonded zone with bonded logistics, processing trades and airport services playing a leading role to promote the construction of a radiation center facing South Asia and Southeast Asia.

In 2022, the foreign trade of the Kunming Free Trade Zone exceeded 10 billion yuan, reaching 13.536 billion yuan, ranking 83rd among 148 Comprehensive Bonded Zones in China. The trade volume of bonded processing trades such as gold and grain reached 2.474 billion yuan, increasing 1195% year-on-year.

Since the establishment of direct export and overseas warehouse export modes, the number of shipments has increased from less than a million orders in 2019 to 11.21 million orders in 2022, covering seven Southeast Asian countries including Thailand and India. 6 companies in the park have set up overseas warehouses in countries such as Thailand, Myanmar, and South Africa to upgrade from B2C to B2B. In 2022, the cross-border e-commerce trade volume in the entire area reached 748 million yuan, and the proportion of cross-border e-commerce imports increased by 8.1%, which gradually optimized the structure.

Next, the Kunming Free Trade Zone will seize the historical opportunity of the implementation of RCEP and the opening and operation of the China-Laos railway, focus on industrial weak links and develop its advantages, and focus on the "dual-drive" of bonded logistics and bonded processing, work together to build a "bonded logistics distribution center""special processing and manufacturing center""cross-border e-commerce sales service center" for South Asia and Southeast Asia, and strive to build a signature opening platform for the development and construction along the China-Laos Railway. The specific goal is to achieve an average annual growth rate of foreign trade of more than 10% from 2023 to 2025. By 2023, the comprehensive ranking in annual development performance reaches the middle level in central and western China, and remain the middle level in China by 2025, continuously promoting high-level regional opening-up and high-quality development.

昆明综合保税区去年外贸进出口突破百亿元，今年，昆明综保区提出，年度发展绩效综合排名要达到中西部中游水平，2023年—2025年，外贸进出口年均增长要达到10%以上，奋力建成中老铁路沿线开发建设的标志性开放平台。

目前，昆明综合保税区已经初步构建保税物流和保税加工“双轮驱动”、跨境电商和其他保税服务共同发展的“2+1+N”产业布局。其中，经开片区与自贸试验区创新融合发展，着重推动检测维修、航空培训、跨境电商等现代服务业新业态发展；空港片区与滇中新区深度融合发展，以航材、特色农产品等保税物流、黄金、粮食等加工贸易及区港联动临空服务为主导，打造空港型综合保税区，助推面向南亚东南亚辐射中心建设。

2022年，昆明综合保税区外贸进出口突破百亿元，达135.36亿元，在全国148个综保区中进出口总额排名第83位。其中，黄金、粮食等保税加工贸易额达24.74亿元，同比增长1195%。

开通直接出口和出口海外仓模式以来，单量从2019年不足100万单增至2022年的1121万单，进出口国涵盖泰国、印度等7个南亚东南亚国家。6家园区企业在泰国、缅甸、南非等国家设立海外仓，实现B2C到B2B的升级。2022年，全区跨境电商贸易额7.48亿元，跨境电商进口占比提高了8.1个百分点，结构逐步优化。

接下来，昆明综合保税区将抢抓RCEP生效实施和中老铁路开通运营的历史机遇，聚焦产业补短板扬优势，围绕保税物流和保税加工“双轮驱动”，聚力打造面向南亚东南亚的“保税物流分拨中心”“特色加工制造中心”和“跨境电商销售服务中心”，努力建成中老铁路沿线开发建设的标志性开放平台。具体目标是：2023年—2025年，外贸进出口年均增长10%以上；2023年发展绩效综合排名达到中西部中游水平，2025年稳定在全国中游水平，不断促进区域高水平开放、高质量发展。（中文稿件来源：“昆明新闻”微信公众号）
