商务部党组书记、部长王文涛在人民日报发表署名文章《扩大高水平对外开放（学习贯彻党的二十届四 中全会精神）》。 以下为原文： 扩大高水平对外开放（学习贯彻党的二十届四中全会精神） 王文涛 《建议》强调，"坚持开放合作、互利共赢是中国式现代化的必然要求"。"十五五"时期，扩大高水平对 外开放，必须坚持以习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想为指导，坚持好运用好贯穿其中的立场观点方 法，重点把握好以下原则要求。 （一）坚持扩大开放与深化改革相结合，推进标准更高的开放。改革越深入，对开放的水平要求就越 高；开放水平越高，对改革的促进作用就越大。党的十八大以来，我国开放水平持续提升，但开放空间 仍然不小。要在改革中扩大开放，减少制约要素流动的"边境上"和"边境后"壁垒，把握数字化、绿色化 发展机遇，既持续深化要素流动型开放，又稳步扩大制度型开放。要在开放中深化改革，主动对接、积 极吸纳国际高标准经贸规则，深化外贸、外商投资和对外投资管理体制改革，完善高水平对外开放体制 机制。 （二）坚持自主开放与协定开放相协同，推进引领更强的开放。自主开放水平越高，协定开放能力就越 强，两者相辅相成。党的十八大以来，我国自主开放与协定开放协 ...

商务部新闻发言人在不久前举行的新闻发布会上表示，在扩大外商投资市场准入方面，商务部将以服务 业为重点扩大市场准入和开放领域，进一步扩大电信、医疗等开放试点。这一部署不仅印证了"中国开 放的大门只会越开越大"的坚定决心，更标志着我国吸引外资政策正从规模扩张向质量提升转变，从要 素开放向制度开放深化。 服务业开放是重要突破口，也是最考验"绣花功夫"的领域。当前，服务业规模已占据国民经济的半壁江 山，其发展质量直接关系到经济转型升级的成效。近年来，从搭建进博会、服贸会、广交会、消博会等 互利共赢的平台，到22个自贸试验区主动对接国际高标准经贸规则，再到外资准入负面清单持续缩 减……我国推进高水平对外开放的力度越来越大。当然，更高水平的开放，不仅仅是清单上"禁止项"的 减少，更是"机遇项"的增多。通过局部试点积累经验，为更大范围、更深层次的开放铺平道路。 从"准入"到"准营"，要做好服务衔接的"绣花功夫"。"准入"只是第一步，"准营"才是真正的关键。商务 部明确提出落实好对外资已开放领域的"准入又准营"要求，这意味着工作重心要从"降低门槛"向"优化 服务"深化，从事前审批向事中事后监管转变。只有通过深化制度改革、完善 ...
