Sanya: Chinese President Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of adopting high standards for the development of the Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP). Xi, who also serves as the general secretary of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made these remarks during a work report session in Sanya, located in south China's Hainan province.

According to Namibia Press Agency, Xi highlighted that the construction of the Hainan FTP is a significant policy decision by the CPC Central Committee aimed at comprehensively deepening reform and opening up in the new era. He urged the earnest study and implementation of the guiding principles from the fourth plenary session of the 20th CPC Central Committee. Xi called for the achievement of the Hainan FTP development targets through close coordination, proactive actions, and sustained efforts.

The Hainan FTP is set to officially initiate island-wide special customs operations on December 18 this year. Xi noted that this move is a landmark step for China in its commitment to expanding high-standard opening up and fostering the development of an open world economy.
