(1) The international division of labor in cities is becoming more and more detailed.

(2) Economic development has a great influence on the development pattern of global international communication centers.

(3) The role of developing countries in the international exchange arena has been significantly enhanced. The international exchange center is the basic function of the capital.

1. The capital is a bridge and link between international and domestic exchanges.

The capital city plays the role of political center, mainly relying on the capabilities of management center, information center, international exchange center and transportation center. Only by improving and perfecting these functions can the capital city reflect the development level of national productive forces and advanced culture, and also have a high degree of agglomeration.

2. The international communication ability of the capital city is a comprehensive reflection of the country's political, economic and cultural development level.

The political center is mainly reflected in its influence and control on the outside world. With the development of modern science and technology and the continuous strengthening of the process of economic globalization, along with the political exchanges in the capital, there are more and more exchanges in economy, science and technology, information, culture and sports. The political influence of the capital has also been enlarged into the comprehensive influence of economy, military affairs, science and technology, culture, etc., and its role is largely reflected in the ability of international communication. Building an international exchange center is an important strategic task for Beijing to assume the function of the capital at the turn of the century, which is mainly reflected in the following three aspects:

1. Reflect the image of reform and opening up with a brand-new look.

Building an international exchange center in Beijing will politically push the capital to open by going up one flight of stairs. As an important symbol of China's further implementation of the national policy of opening up in the new century, it can establish a brand-new image of opening up. Economically, we should seize the opportunity of China's accession to the WTO, give full play to the advantages of the capital's foreign exchanges, make it a window of the export-oriented economy and a strategic commanding height to radiate the international market, and promote the adjustment of China's economic structure and the optimization of its layout.

2. Tap the capital's opening-up potential and improve the level of opening-up.

Building an international exchange center is an important part and key link of Beijing's opening up, and it is a realistic choice to give full play to the advantages of the capital and improve the level of opening up. Located between the coast and the west, Beijing's opening to the outside world has inherent disadvantages such as location and natural resources, as well as unique advantages such as intensive intelligence and perfect functions. Beijing's construction of an international exchange center fully conforms to the nature and function of the capital. On the one hand, we can cooperate with the coastal and western regions, complement each other's advantages and develop together. At the same time, it can also promote Beijing's opening to the outside world from the level of enterprises, industries and even industries to the level of capital and international exchange center cities, and provide a good space carrier for Beijing to expand and deepen its opening up.

3. Promote Beijing's economic development and urban construction.

① Allocate the strategic resources of modern economy at a higher level;

(2) Promoting the development of the tertiary industry and upgrading the industrial structure;

③ Speeding up the pace of urban modernization;

④ Expand employment and promote consumption. The outstanding advantages of Beijing's urban internationalization are mainly manifested in:

1. Building an international exchange center is a sacred mission entrusted to Beijing by the party and the state, and it is also a strategic need for the shift of the center of gravity of the world economic badge.

Beijing has special international communication resources.

Beijing is the cultural center of the country, with the most concentrated and first-class scientific research institutions, educational institutions, cultural and sports organizations and news media. A large number of international and domestic cultural, artistic and sports exchange activities are held every year, which has a certain influence in Asia and even the world. Beijing is the center of science, technology and information in China, with strong knowledge production and dissemination capabilities, and the exchange of science, technology and information in Beijing is becoming more and more frequent. Beijing is a famous historical and cultural city in the world. Beijing has a history of more than 3000 years and 800 years, and has become a world-famous tourist city.

3. Beijing has strong innovation ability.

Beijing has a strong scientific and technological strength. The pattern of "one district and five parks" has basically taken shape, various plans have been fully launched, and infrastructure construction has been rapidly promoted; The rapid development of high-tech industries has become an important new economic growth point to promote the economic development of the capital.

Beijing has infrastructure.

Beijing's telephone penetration rate, per capita electricity consumption, per capita green area and the proportion of direct investment in environmental protection in GDP have increased rapidly, and Beijing is stepping up the construction of the "Digital Beijing" project. Beijing's urban construction is still in the stage of rapid development, and the improvement of infrastructure capacity has created the necessary conditions for building an international exchange center.

Beijing has the necessary industrial base.

Beijing is a super-large comprehensive industrial city, which has formed a basically complete industrial system, laying a material foundation for building an international exchange center and providing necessary industrial support.

6. International exchanges in Beijing have begun to take shape.

Beijing is the international exchange center of China and an important international exchange city in Asia and even the world.

7. There are frequent international friendly exchanges and numerous sister cities.

There are 138 embassies, 2 honorary consulates, 16 representative offices of international organizations, 189 foreign news organizations, 644/kloc-0 representative offices of foreign enterprises and more than 5000 foreign-invested enterprises. We received 1 12 groups of state guests and party guests, including 84 heads of state or government. Established sister city relations with 26 cities in 23 countries in the world, and established friendly exchange and cooperation relations with more than 30 foreign cities. Among the major cities in the world, the number of sister cities has ranked fifth in the world and third in Asia.

The number of permanent and temporary visitors to Beijing has increased steadily.

After 1993, Beijing's international tourism entered a stage of steady development, with the annual growth rate of tourists and foreign exchange income of 1.6% and 3.5% respectively. By 1999, the resident population outside Beijing has reached 50,000, and it has received 2.524 million overseas tourists, with a foreign exchange income of 2.5 billion US dollars, accounting for 20% ~ 25% of the whole country, ranking first among cities in China and becoming a world-famous international tourism center city.

9. Holding large-scale international conferences is among the best in Asia.

From 65438 to 0994, Beijing successfully held the Fourth World Conference on Women and received more than 30,000 foreign guests. By 1999, Beijing has 25 conference venues with more than 500 seats, with a total seating capacity of 22,693; There are 6 exhibition halls, with a total area of 65438+800,000 square meters, of which the exhibition area of China International Exhibition Center is 90,000 square meters. All kinds of conferences and exhibitions held in Beijing account for more than 80% of the national total, ranking 35th among the major cities in the world and fourth in Asia after Singapore, Hong Kong and Tokyo. Compared with the contemporary famous international communication center city, there is still a big gap in Beijing's international communication function. First, the number of international communication activities is small, second, the level is low, and third, the influence is weak. Beijing only has the representative office of the United Nations and the headquarters of 1 international organizations, which reflects that Beijing's international influence is not big enough.

1. Guiding ideology and basic principles for Beijing to build an international exchange center

Guiding ideology and construction ideas: To build Beijing International Exchange Center, we should conscientiously implement the spirit of the State Council's reply to Beijing's overall urban planning, firmly implement the central foreign policy and promote the country's opening up, take serving the development of the capital and social progress as the core, and take promoting world peace and development as our own responsibility. By means of extensive international exchanges in various fields, we will strive to become a world-class modern comprehensive international exchange center in the middle of the next century to serve the modernization and internationalization of the capital.

2. The main tasks and development goals of building an international exchange center in Beijing

According to the strategic task put forward by the central government and the sacred mission entrusted by the times, combined with the inherent requirements of the development of international exchange center cities and Beijing's reality, by 20 10, the overall goal of Beijing's international exchange center construction is to basically build a first-class and moderately developed modern international exchange center city in Asia and become a world-class international political center, international tourism center and international science and technology trade center; International cultural centers, international convention and exhibition centers and international sports centers in Asia. Strive to achieve the following goals:

(1) advanced international communication. Basically form a reasonable international exchange structure, focusing on the development of political, economic, scientific and cultural exchange subjects; International exchanges in major fields have reached the world-class level, striving to host large-scale international events such as the World Expo and the Olympic Games, and actively establishing festivals with wide international influence and Beijing characteristics and national style; The number of headquarters (regional headquarters and branches) of international organizations and multinational groups has increased significantly, reaching the leading level in Asia.

(2) The service system is fully functional. The municipal party committee and municipal government shall lead the international exchange work of the whole city in a unified way, and establish and improve the government management system in accordance with the principles of unified leadership, centralized management, graded responsibility and coordination. Basically build an efficient and clean government management system, so that government management departments can fully embody the principle of changing functions, administering according to law and streamlining institutions, do a good job in planning, policy guidance, law enforcement supervision, organization and coordination, and provide quality services to domestic and foreign units and individuals in a timely manner; Establish a socialized service system in line with international norms, vigorously develop information consultation, foreign language services, intermediary organizations, international travel agencies, international language schools, international medical assistance centers and other institutions, and form a fully functional, advanced technology, standardized management, efficient and convenient socialized service system.

3. Countermeasures and suggestions for accelerating the construction of international exchange centers

(a) unified thinking, strengthen leadership, overall planning.

(1) unify thoughts and raise awareness.

(2) Strengthen the leadership in the construction of international exchange centers. The Municipal Party Committee, the Municipal Government and the Foreign Affairs Leading Group of the Municipal Party Committee set up the Capital International Exchange Center Promotion Office (which can be located in the Foreign Affairs Office) to co-ordinate the construction of Beijing International Exchange Center.

(3) Prepare the overall plan for the construction of the international exchange center and the promotion plans of all departments.

(2) Highlight key points and lead by leading enterprises.

(1) Hold large-scale international activities with the Olympic Games as the leading factor to improve the level and popularity of international exchanges. Do a good job in the bidding and organization of the 2008 Olympic Games, and take this as the core to comprehensively improve the scale and level of various exchanges; We will continue to hold the China-Beijing International Week of High-tech Industries well, and study Beijing's plan of hosting a professional and comprehensive World Expo as soon as possible, so as to make preparations for Beijing to continue to strengthen international exchanges in the post-Olympic period.

(2) Vigorously attract international organizations and improve the accumulation of international institutions. Adopt a unified deployment and division of responsibilities to attract international organizations with international influence to settle in Beijing. Study and formulate targeted policies and measures to attract international organizations and multinational group headquarters (regional headquarters and branches) to reduce taxes, expand export rights, relax market access, relax household registration management, and give priority to passports.

(3) Focus on building "two districts and one street" to form a central area for international exchanges. CBD is an important symbol of contemporary international cities, and we need to concentrate our efforts as soon as possible to plan and build a CBD that is suitable for the capital status and has the level of 2 1 century. We should take the lead in planning and building Haidian Park with high standards and quickly occupy the commanding heights of international competition. Chang 'an Street is an important image window of Beijing's political center and a symbolic window of international political activities. Chang 'an Avenue should be planned and built according to world-class standards, making it a century classic representing oriental civilization.

(4) Vigorously build key exchange facilities and improve comprehensive reception capacity. Focus on the construction of a number of landmark international exchange facilities, such as the super-large international convention and exhibition center, the National Grand Theatre, the Olympic Center and the Science and Technology Expo Center, to make up for the lack of international exchange facilities in Beijing and provide necessary hardware support for the extensive development of large-scale international exchange activities. Among them, priority should be given to the construction of extra-large convention and exhibition centers.

At the same time, we will speed up the expansion of the Capital Airport, the construction of urban rail transit system and digital Beijing, vigorously improve Beijing's environmental quality, and raise the level of infrastructure modernization. Establish a perfect city identification system and create a good international exchange environment.

(5) Planning and building a large modern entertainment center to speed up the upgrading of tourism products. Based on the principles of advanced design, leading technology, facing the public, good ecology and comprehensive entertainment, we will concentrate on building a large-scale modern entertainment center (theme park) to change the backward situation of aging tourism products and single structure in Beijing.

(3) vigorously carry out the work of sister cities, and give full play to the role of the government as the main channel for international exchanges.

(1) Actively expand the scale of sister cities. Actively strive for the guidance and support of the central authorities to make the work of friendship cities in the capital an important part of the country's diplomatic work; Select a number of target cities as the focus of work, set up special working groups, establish a responsibility system, carry out international exchanges in a planned way, and actively expand the scale of sister cities.

(2) Establish and improve the working system. Systematic collection and collation of sister city information, the establishment of Beijing sister city database and information system; On the basis of the sister city work plan, formulate the sister city work promotion plan and form the sister city work goal and planning system; Send staff to key friendship cities in a planned way and establish an overseas friendship city organization system. According to the characteristics of sister city work, study and formulate a scientific and standardized work system to promote the standardization and institutionalization of sister city work.

The second is to enhance the pertinence and effectiveness of the work of sister cities and make full use of the special advantages of sister cities to carry out the work. It is necessary to take advantage of the government's high level of foreign exchanges and great influence to carry out special exchanges on some key issues and prominent contradictions in the work of opening up to the outside world. At the same time, the work of sister cities should also create conditions for international exchanges between society, enterprises and people, and guide and help them to better carry out international exchanges.

(4) Establish a diversified investment system and raise funds through multiple channels.

(1) Study the establishment of an international foreign exchange development fund. In the early stage of the construction of the international trading center, it needs the support of the government, especially the relatively stable financial support. It is suggested to carry out cross-industry and cross-regional asset restructuring to build an "aircraft carrier".

(2) In order to enhance Beijing's ability to host large-scale international exchange activities, the government should actively integrate international exchange enterprises in Beijing, form a number of internationally competitive "aircraft carriers" and take the road of joint development.

(3) Formulate industrial policies to encourage social investment.

(five) improve the government management system and social service system, and cultivate a good communication environment.

(1) has clear thinking and perfect functions. In order to achieve the goal of building an international exchange center, the foreign-related administrative departments of this Municipality must firmly establish the awareness of "foreign affairs in the capital" and further strengthen the service concept. Taking advantage of the foreign affairs department, pioneering and innovating has become the core force in the construction of the capital international exchange center.

The institutional reform of foreign-related departments should fully reflect the characteristics of foreign affairs in the capital. In order to serve the construction of international exchange center, foreign-related departments should gradually improve their leadership functions, planning functions, organization functions, coordination functions and foreign-related management functions, and gradually establish and improve a new working system and efficient operation mechanism.

(2) Centralized management and individual responsibility. The construction of Beijing International Exchange Center must establish a perfect working network, which mainly includes: a planning system headed by a foreign affairs leading group, with the full-time research strength of the municipal party committee and the municipal government as the core and the extensive participation of social forces; Bidding system with government departments as the main body and non-governmental organizations as the supplement; A coordination system led by the foreign affairs leading group and the promotion group with the participation of relevant departments and units; An organizational system led by government departments and supported by relevant departments; A publicity system based on the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee and involving relevant departments; A comprehensive service system with government management institutions as the leader and social reception and service enterprises as the supplement.

(3) Planning and coordination, and promoting at different levels. The construction of an international exchange center shall be carried out in accordance with the principles of unified planning, step-by-step implementation and mutual cooperation. The promotion office is responsible for coordination according to the unified planning. First, strengthen coordination and cooperation with the central units. The second is to strengthen coordination and cooperation with relevant departments and units of international exchange in this Municipality. The third is to strengthen coordination and cooperation with brother provinces and cities. As the international exchange center of China, Beijing must fully embody the principle of facing the whole country and serving the whole country, and jointly establish a smooth information network and offices with brother provinces and cities to provide foreign exchange services for brother provinces and cities.

(4) Comprehensive service and overall optimization. Intensify economic restructuring, vigorously develop the tertiary industry, and focus on supporting a number of comprehensive service industries that have a significant impact on international exchanges. The government should take various forms to reorganize assets across regions, industries and departments in the capital region, and set up international exchange service centers, international exhibition service centers and tourism consulting service centers to improve the service environment in the capital region.

(six) to create a good external environment.

(1) Establish and improve the foreign-related legal system. With China's imminent accession to the World Trade Organization, it is necessary to reform and innovate the existing foreign-related management and establish and improve the legal system of foreign-related management. Secondly, study and promulgate the Regulations on the Administration of Foreign Domestic Service, the Regulations on the Socialization of Foreign Students and the Regulations on 72-hour visa-free entry for overseas personnel as soon as possible. At the same time, it is necessary to further strengthen legal publicity, provide legal services for foreigners in Beijing, and create a good legal environment.

(2) Effectively improve the ecological environment. In the investigation of permanent foreigners and temporary immigrants in Beijing, foreigners generally reflect Beijing's environmental pollution, especially serious air pollution, and list environmental problems as one of the main gaps in Beijing's construction of an international exchange center. When bidding for some internationally influential events in Beijing, environmental problems are also one of the main obstacles. We should strengthen the construction of ecological environment, take practical measures, intensify the adjustment of energy structure, industrial layout, develop public transportation, urban greening and water system management, improve the environmental quality of Beijing, and create the necessary natural environment for building an international exchange center.

(seven) training and introducing all kinds of professionals.

(1) There is a plan to train senior managers and managers. Make a long-term training plan and adopt various methods to strengthen training. Continue to run training courses for senior managers in the United States, and send government officials and senior managers to developed countries for study and training; Cooperate with institutions of higher learning to hold special training courses in China to train senior managers in rotation.
