I. Significance and overall requirements
(1) Significance. Facing the difficulties and challenges of the international financial crisis, our city has earnestly implemented a series of policies and measures of the State Council and the provincial government to promote the stable growth of foreign trade, and achieved positive results. The foreign trade team has continued to grow and expand, the foreign trade structure has been further optimized, and the driving force of foreign trade on the national economy has been continuously strengthened, making important contributions to the stable and rapid development of our city's economy. In essence, the impact of the international financial crisis on our city's foreign trade is an impact on the development mode, making the issue of transforming the development mode of foreign trade in our city more prominent. Currently, the international economic environment in the post - international financial crisis era is more complex, and the development of our city's foreign trade faces more uncertainties and unstable factors. The competition in foreign trade ultimately depends on the strength of core competitiveness. Therefore, while maintaining the stable growth of foreign trade, it is urgent to promote structural adjustment and the change of development mode. We must clearly recognize that accelerating the transformation of the development mode of foreign trade is not only an inevitable requirement to adapt to the major changes in the global demand structure and enhance the ability of our city's open - oriented economy to resist risks in the international market, but also an inevitable requirement to improve core competitiveness, and an inevitable requirement to seize the high - ground and create new advantages in international competition in the post - crisis era. We must unswervingly carry it through to the end and make efforts and achieve results in "accelerating".
(2) Guiding ideology. Guided by the Scientific Outlook on Development, earnestly implement the spirit of the 17th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the "Eight - eight Strategy" of the provincial Party committee and the general strategic requirements of "starting businesses to enrich the people and innovating to strengthen the province".
