Zone to be pilot for free trade area

Originally an overseas Chinese farm, the Fenyong Economic Zone has been selected to become a pilot zone in the China-ASEAN Free Trade Area, said Zhanjiang Vice-Mayor Zhao Zhihui.

He said that the zone is also the key to developing the five new priority industries of Zhanjiang.

Those industries refer to advanced oceanic development, alternative energy, electronics, pharmaceuticals and new materials.
