fujian is an important starting point of the ancient maritime silk road, the core area of ​​the 21st century maritime silk road, and an important province for reform and opening up. in 2023, fujian's total import and export volume with countries participating in the belt and road initiative was 1,008.92 billion yuan, accounting for 51.1% of fujian's total foreign trade value during the same period.

the fujian daily previously published an article pointing out that in the process of "going out" and "bringing in", it is inevitable to encounter relevant legal issues.

starting from 2021, fujian province will deeply implement xi jinping's thoughts on the rule of law, innovatively build the maritime silk road central legal district, establish an international commercial maritime dispute resolution institution, and create a rule of law service platform "based in fujian, radiating across the taiwan strait, influencing the whole country, and facing the world", providing strong legal guarantees for the high-quality joint construction of the "belt and road".

in november 2021, the maritime silk road central legal district was officially unveiled in xiamen, fujian. after several years of construction, it has now expanded to multiple areas in xiamen, fuzhou and quanzhou.

zhengzhijun noticed that earlier, the maritime silk road central legal district had already carried out experiments in different areas in terms of procuratorial services, taiwan-related legal affairs, and international arbitration. in the above forum, the establishment of three new institutions under the framework of the maritime silk road central legal district can be seen as a new move by fujian to deepen the construction of the maritime silk road central legal district.

so, what role will the three new institutions play? we can get a glimpse of this from the previous exploration of the relevant functions of the maritime silk road central legal district.
