Reporters learned from the Foreign Affairs Office of Guangzhou Municipal People's Government on the 4th that Guangzhou announced 12 pilot international blocks, including the Ersha Island block in Yuexiu District, the Shamian block in Liwan District, and the Qifu Xincun block in Panyu District. Internationalized street (community) is an urban public space with international standards, and a community of social life composed of people of different nationalities from all over the world living, working, communicating, and leisure in a certain region. The pilot construction of Guangzhou's international streets will not only serve as an important fulcrum for the development of an international metropolis, but also an important guarantee for Guangzhou's talent services. In March 2022, Guangzhou issued the Implementation Opinions on Promoting the Pilot Construction of Internationalized Neighborhood Districts. Each district will promote the pilot construction of international neighborhoods based on actual conditions, and give priority to the districts with good comprehensive conditions and key planning and development as the first pilot of the construction of international neighborhoods. The 12 pilot construction blocks announced this time include Ersha Island Block in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou Design City Block in Baiyun District, Airport Business District Block in Huadu District, Jiaomenhe Block in Nansha District, Liuxi Hot Spring Tourist Resort Block in Conghua District, etc. Different blocks rely on different international elements to carry out pilot construction. For example, there are Liwan Shamian Street, which is based on the historical culture of Shamian, and Panyu District Qifu New Estate Street, which attracts more than 200000 residents from home and abroad. The relevant person in charge of the Foreign Affairs Office of Guangzhou Municipal People's Government said that the above-mentioned blocks have a good foundation, concentrated advantageous resources and great development potential. In the future, they can be built into characteristic blocks that integrate industry and city, culture, business and tourism, and human settlements. According to the Foreign Affairs Office of Guangzhou Municipal People's Government, it is planned that the first batch of international blocks in Guangzhou will be basically completed by 2025; By 2035, the international street will become an important fulcrum of Guangzhou's high-level opening up. According to reports, Guangzhou will promote the construction of an international street by creating an international living environment, providing convenient government affairs and public services, and meeting diversified international education needs. Among them, in addition to creating a new international consumption mode in the street and optimizing the standardized construction of foreign language signs in the street, Guangzhou will provide foreigners with "one-stop" government services for entry and exit, residence, work permits and other matters in relevant areas, and promote the development of foreign-related legal services.
