On October 22, the State Council Information Office held a series of press conferences with the theme of "Getting Started with the 15th Five-Year Plan" to introduce the situation of promoting high-quality business development during the 15th Five-Year Plan period and answer reporters' questions. Vice Minister of Commerce Jiang Chenghua said that since the first free trade agreement with ASEAN in 2002, after more than 20 years of unremitting efforts, China has signed 26 free trade agreements with 33 countries and regions. Free trade partners (including Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) account for 45% of China's total foreign trade and attract 70% of foreign investment. A global free trade network has taken initial shape.
