The actual use of foreign capital in 2019 in the province reached 25.7 billion U.S. dollars. Among the total, manufacturing and strategic emerging industries increased by 18 percent and 32 percent, respectively.

The province has accelerated the construction of the China-Kazakhstan logistics cooperation base, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization international logistics park and the Huaihai international land port to further promote opening up.
