In August, the Foreign Affairs Office of Shenyang Municipal People’s Government (“the Shenyang FAO”) rolled out a series of special events under the theme of “Promotion Month for Policies to Help Enterprises Go Global” . Delivering targeted, professional and full-chain foreign-related services, the Shenyang FAO has thoroughly put into practice the integrated development philosophy of “foreign affairs plus commerce and trade”. It provides solid support for local export-oriented enterprises to “go global” with high-quality growth and tap into overseas markets, and lends impetus to the development of the city’s “3+4+3” modern industrial system.

During the events, in response to the prominent pain points and insufficient experience of local export-oriented enterprises in tackling foreign-related trade frictions, resolving cross-border legal disputes and preventing overseas risks, the Shenyang FAO ‌coordinated with relevant government departments and institutions to pool high quality resources covering foreign economy and trade, legal services, cross-border finance and overseas insurance. Targeting key sectors including import and export, high-end electromechanical manufacturing and high-tech industries, multiple policy briefings tailored to different categories were hosted. The events offered in-depth interpretations of policies facilitating overseas business travel, key points for preventing and controlling, so as to provide targeted help for the enterprises to fix up the shortcomings in their “going global” and enhance their ability to resist the risks in overseas operations.

Participating enterprises commented that the events directly addressed the practical problems faced by enterprises going global. The policy interpretation is “down-to-earth”, effectively resolving problems of enterprises in overseas travel, risk prevention and control, and market expansion, providing enterprises with the greater confidence to seize market opportunities, and has strong guiding significance for foreign economic and trade cooperation.
