The year 2024 is crucial for Shandong to build a new center for high-level opening up. The presidents of Angola, Senegal, Mozambique and other countries have visited Shandong in succession. Deepening cooperation has become the common keyword during their visits to Shandong, leading to the formation of several cooperative intentions.

Within the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, Shandong has leveraged its marine resources to expand economic cooperation with countries worldwide. Through the construction of the China (Shandong) Pilot Free Trade Zone and Port Economic Zone, Shandong has established close cooperative relations with Japan, South Korea and other countries and regions. Qingdao, Yantai and other ports have continuously deepened their foreign cooperation and become important nodes of China Railway Express trains and the Maritime Silk Road.

Additionally, Shandong Province has organized international economic and trade fairs, exhibitions and other events to display its scientific and technological innovation achievements in the manufacturing industry and attract overseas high-quality resources and capital. The economic cooperation between Shandong and developed countries such as Germany, Japan, and South Korea has been further deepened, resulting in significant advancements in their cooperation in areas such as new energy vehicles, intelligent manufacturing, and green environmental protection.
