According to the Publicity Department of Shenyang Municipal Committee, on October 24, 2024, the State Council officially announced the approval of the Overall Plan for Land and Space of Shenyang City (2021-2035), which for the first time gave Shenyang a new orientation as an "International Central City in Northeast Asia". This strategic positioning not only marks the international upgrade of Shenyang as a city, but also gives Shenyang a new mission and role in the opening-up and regional cooperation in Northeast Asia.

In recent years, Shenyang has accelerated its efforts in constructing an important gateway for northward opening-up, and got actively involved in global competition and cooperation with a more open attitude, striving to create a new frontier for Northeast Asia's opening-up to the outside world. Especially since the beginning of this year, Shenyang has achieved remarkable results in fields such as investment attraction and selection, channel construction, platform innovation, and foreign investment and trade. The "Foreign Affairs+" has been continuously upgraded, and the global influence of the "International Shenyang" brand has been enhanced.
