In addition,what the province should do to speed up the transformation and upgrade of the cooperation,to overcome cooperation difficulties,and to build a new setup of diverse opening-up? The above questions need to be thought and discussed seriously.The paper analyzes provincial policies of Heilongjiang for trade cooperation with Russia,learns from success foreign policies in facilitating regional economic cooperation,and compares the policy formulation and implementation conditions with neighboring provinces.It discovers problems and shortcomings for the provincial policies for economic and trade cooperation with Russia.To meet the new historical opportunity,it proposes responding strategies for improving the policies conducive to the innovative development of the cooperation.In doing so,it strives to give a help in speeding up the implementation of the strategy of the Heilongjiang Land and Sea Silk Road Economic Belt by offering services for government policy-making,providing information and micro guidance for enterprises,synergizing efforts for social progress,and injecting new vigor into the economic transformation. |
