Sichuan province and Chongqing in Southwest China are set to collaborate on 320 key projects this year, as part of efforts to enhance the region's economic growth.

According to the recently released list of key projects for the construction of the Chengdu-Chongqing Economic Circle in 2025, over 70 percent of these projects will concentrate on modern infrastructure and an industrial system, the Chongqing Development and Reform Commission said.

These projects span seven key sectors such as the cooperative construction of a modern infrastructure network, the collaborative development of a modern industrial system, and the joint establishment of a nationally influential science and technology innovation center.
