"Today's partnership announcement with FTZ and SII will help Amazon further realise our vision."
Under the pact, Amazon will open its new cross-border e-commerce platform in the free trade zone.
The online retailer will also establish a logistics and warehouse centre in the FTZ, whereby imported goods will enter China via the zone's cross-border e-commerce platform.
