Five year plan for foreign trade The Ministry of Commerce attaches great importance to its compilation work. According to the introduction, planning in 2010 5-8 months, complete the first draft. In 2010 9-10, according to the opinions of some provincial and provincial commercial authorities, it was suggested to make amendments to form draft for soliciting comments. From November 2010 to August 2011, the 11 ministries and commissions such as the development and Reform Commission, 37 provincial commerce departments, six import and export chambers of Commerce, and experts and scholars in the field of foreign trade and economic cooperation were widely consulted, and a draft was formed on the basis of the study and absorption of more than 100 opinions. In September 2011, the experts will demonstrate and pass the manuscript.

In March 2012, the sixty-second ministerial meeting of the Ministry of Commerce deliberated and passed the final draft. The foregoing leaders listed the challenges of China's foreign trade during the 12th Five-Year: the global economic slowdown, the rise of trade protectionism in the countries concerned, the fluctuation of major currencies and commodity prices, the intensification of competition between different countries and the increase in domestic operating costs, and the difficulty in adjusting the structure of foreign trade.

Aiming at the target of foreign trade growth with an average annual growth of 10%, the person in charge said that we fully considered the growth rate of foreign trade during the period of "11th Five-Year" (the average annual growth of imports and exports was 15.9%, including 15.7% of exports, 16.1% of imports) and the severe and complex development trend of foreign trade in the 12th Five-Year period.

The plan also proposes to promote "going out" to promote trade. We encourage the production capacity of industries such as light industry, textiles, clothing, household appliances and general equipment manufacturing, which are mature in domestic technology and large in international market demand, to shift to the target market and drive the export of spare parts and intermediate products. We should encourage overseas contractors to undertake projects, drive domestic exports of raw materials and equipment, and "go out" of Chinese technology and standards.
