It is of great significance to accelerate the construction of China-Singapore Smart City Demonstration Zone in Nanjing. It will help Jiangsu actively serve "the Belt and Road Initiative” and create a new advantage of "the Belt and Road Initiative" intersection point.

Several key points of accelerating the construction of China-Singapore Smart City Demonstration Zone in Nanjing are as follows:1. We should formulate a construction plan of smart city demonstration zone that is international, domestic leading, with the characteristics of Nanjing and reflects China-Singapore cooperation as soon as possible. We also need to establish a normalized dialogue mechanism with Singapore smart city as soon as possible, and strive to be included in the Sino-Singapore bilateral cooperation mechanism in the long term.2. We should build the eco-science island as a whole, as the core area and future development benchmark of China-Singapore Smart City Demonstration Zone.3. We should accelerate the construction of a new generation of information infrastructure and take the lead in building an internationally advanced "smart city brain".4. Efforts should be made to promote digital innovation and accelerate the construction of new R & D highlands and industrial demonstration parks in the field of China-Singapore Smart City cooperation.5. We should fully learn from Singapore's experience, increase the support for the construction of China-Singapore Smart City Demonstration Zone, and form a policy joint force.
