China News Service, Chongqing, November 10 (Reporter Zhong Yi) At a press conference held by the Chongqing Municipal Government Information Office on the 10th, Xiao Wenjun, member of the Standing Committee of the Chongqing Liangjiang New District Committee and executive deputy director of the district government, said that during the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, Liangjiang New District will strive to achieve a GDP of 800 billion yuan by 2030, and serve as the main position, main force and main engine of the construction of a modern new Chongqing.
Liangjiang New Area is located at the intersection of the Yangtze River and Jialing River. It is the first national-level new area in central and western my country to achieve administrative status. In November 2025, the State Council approved the establishment of the new Liangjiang New Area. Xiao Wenjun said that this zoning adjustment is not only the integration of regions and changes in urban area, but also mainly reflected in new development missions, development opportunities, development stages and development goals.
In 2025, Liangjiang New Area's GDP will reach 560 billion yuan, accounting for 16% of the city's total; leading industrial clusters such as automobiles and electronic information have taken shape, and specialty businesses such as finance and commerce have continued to grow, laying a solid foundation for the development of the "15th Five-Year Plan". In the next five years, Liangjiang New Area will accelerate construction and promote development in six aspects.
The first is to strive to become a "strategic ballast", place the development of Liangjiang New Area within the overall situation of the country and Chongqing, and comprehensively undertake major national strategies.
The second is to strive to become a "power source of development", meet the requirements of high-quality development of industries, and take the lead in pioneering a new path for industrial upgrading in the city. Focusing closely on the two leading industries of intelligent networked new energy vehicles and electronic information, we will upgrade and build the three pillar industries of new energy and equipment, consumer goods industry, and life and health, cultivate and strengthen the three emerging industries of new materials, aerospace information, and robotics, and strive to achieve a total industrial output value of over 1 trillion yuan in 2030; promote the deep integration of advanced manufacturing and producer services, and strive to have the added value of the service industry in the new area exceed 550 billion yuan by 2030.
The third is to strive to become a "vanguard of reform", deepen the efficient reform of administrative districts and development zones, innovate the management mechanism of functional zones, and further play the role of functional zones; continue to deepen the reform of state-owned assets and state-owned enterprises and other key areas, make Liangjiang State-owned Enterprise Group bigger and stronger, and strive to reach 1 trillion yuan in state-owned assets in the zone in 2030.
The fourth is to strive to become an “open bridgehead”. Xiao Wenjun said that Liangjiang New Area will explore the construction of a comprehensive hub model for inland opening-up, actively promote the level of institutional opening-up and the scale of the open economy, and strive to exceed 400 billion yuan in total import and export in 2030.
The fifth is to strive to become a “new paradigm of smart governance”. As an important carrier for Chongqing to explore the modern governance of megacities, Liangjiang New Area will make urban renewal more powerful, urban governance more precise, and urban-rural integration more warm.
Xiao Wenjun said that Liangjiang New Area must also strive to become a "happy and livable place." During the "15th Five-Year Plan" period, the district will create the first choice area for young people to work and start businesses in Chongqing, achieving an average annual increase of more than 140,000 urban jobs; adding 65,000 new academic degrees, increasing the number of tertiary hospitals to 13, and building more than 50 "15-minute high-quality life service circles".
