台灣新經濟簡訊Vol.8 No.4

肩負提升國家門戶經營效益重任的交通部長毛治國上任後，提出「建構港埠為價值樞紐」（value-added hub）概念，並由經建會手中接下統籌四海一空「自由貿易港區」（Free Trade Zone，簡稱FTZ）發展的重大業務，他以全新的理念與策略，要將台灣的海、空港埠帶往另一個階段。

After Mao Chi-kuo assumed office as Minister of Transportation and Communications (MOTC), and shouldered the heavy responsibility of upgrading the operating performance of Taiwan's international gateways, he proposed the idea of ''building ports into value-added hubs'' and took over, from the Council for Economic Planning and Development, the task of planning the island's five free trade zones (at four harbors and one airport). Mr. Mao's ambition is to boost Taiwan's seaports and airports, with brand-new concepts and strategies, to a higher stage of development.
