At a time when the global economy is struggling to regain its footing, Chengdu is emerging as a flourishing major trade hub in the west-central region of China.
The shrinking Arctic ice sheet is opening up new shipping routes for global trade, and China will be one of the main beneficiaries.
Chengdu will further consolidate the city's status as a leading economic center in China's southwest by opening itself up to more economic cooperation with South Asian countries.
A booming market in South Asia involving more than 10 billion yuan ($1.59 billion) worth of trade was the topic of a summit in Chengdu, capital of southwestern China's Sichuan province in late September.
