TIANJIN, China, Sept. 23, 2019 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/--
The Xiongan Service Center of the Tianjin Port Group was inaugurated on August 21, with the opening of the Tianjin Port's green channel for the Xiongan New Area. Twenty container convoys full of rubber products drove from the core area of the Xiongan New Area to Tianjin Port that day, opening a new chapter for the coordinated development of the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region.
Since the establishment of the the Xiongan New Area, Tianjin Port has made full use of its global advantages to serve the Xiongan New Area's planning and construction by focusing on building a service platform and the Xiongan New Area's gateway to the sea.
Now, a front-end service platform is in place, including the Xiongan Service Center of the Tianjin Port Group and three logistics service nodes in Baoding, Shengfang and Baigou. Meanwhile, special passages and windows have been set up at the port container terminals and the Tianjin International Trade and Shipping Service Center to provide green passage for the Xiongan New Area's import and export goods.
The Tianjin Port Group's affiliates have also signed a agreement to co-develop the green channel with three Hebei firms. All parties will build on the construction of the smart Tianjin Port to deepen the cooperation of anhydrous ports, form a modern logistics channel with the Hebei regional headquarters of Tianjin Port's inland marketing network as the core, realize efficient, accurate and convenient inter-connectivity, and offer strong support for the Xiongan New Area's infrastructure construction, people's livelihood needs and key projects.

QUEQI MEDIA CULTURE: STRENGTHEN FINANCIAL TIES BETWEEN CHINA AND ASEAN TO BOOST COOPERATION ON TRADE AND FINANCING
BEIJING, Sept 20 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- The 16th China-ASEAN Expo will be held in Nanning, Guangxi, China from Sept 20 to 23, 2019. According to Wang Lei, the Secretary General of the China-ASEAN Expo Secretariat, a financial service exhibition will be arranged in Nanning International Exhibition Center for the financial institutions to display cross-border financing, cross-border settlement, fintech, ITFIN. Some financial institutions have confirmed their participation, such as Bank of China, Agricultural Bank of China, China Construction Bank, ICBC, HSBC (China) and Singapore's DBS Bank, etc.
Banks from ten ASEAN member countries have established 36 branches in China. Banks from Singapore and Thailand have the most branches. Three Thai banks have set up 9 branches in China, out of which Bangkok Bank has established four branches in Beijing and Shanghai. These banks are engaged in businesses such as wholesale banking and retail banking, and continue to diversify. Meanwhile, branches of Chinese financial institutions are also increasing in ASEAN.
In addition, China and ASEAN are also promoting the establishment of a bank's bilateral settlement network to facilitate cross-border RMB trade settlement. China has introduced direct transactions in the inter-bank foreign exchange market, including RMB against Singapore dollar, Malaysian ringgit and Thai baht, innovating the listing of RMB against Cambodian Riel. China also has reached agreements with Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and other countries on the establishment of RMB Qualified Foreign Institutional Investors (RQFIIs). The total investment will be 200 billion yuan and the bilateral local-currency swap lines between them amounted to 650 billion yuan. RMB cross-border trade settlement helps both avoiding exchange rate risk, reducing the exchange costs in enterprise settlements.
Capital Finance is an important pivot for the construction proposed by the BRI. Financial cooperation plays an important role in building a closer China-ASEAN community of Shared future.
The China-ASEAN Expo has held a series of activities, such as the financial service exhibitions, the China-ASEAN Summit Forum on Financial Cooperation and Development which has been held for 10 sessions. More than 1,000 institutions, 3,500 financial leaders and business elites from China, ASEAN, Europe, the United States and other countries have attended.
