Shanxi shoulders responsibility and leads energy reform
Low-carbon
energy development concerns the future of humanity, Chinese President Xi
Jinping said in a congratulatory letter to the Taiyuan Energy Low Carbon
Development Forum, which opened on Tuesday in Taiyuan of north China’s Shanxi
province, a traditional energy production center in China.
The country attaches
great importance to low-carbon energy development and actively promotes energy
consumption, supply, technology and institutional transformation, Xi said.
The country is
ready to work with the international community to strengthen energy cooperation
in all aspects, safeguard energy security, address climate change, protect the
ecology and environment, promote sustainable development and bring more
benefits to people around the world, he added.
As a national
forum approved by the State Council of China, the Taiyuan forum attracts
expertise from around the world. It has already been successfully held for
three times, exerting significant impact in the global energy field.
It is developing
into an influential energy platform for conducting high-level dialogues,
launching scientific and technological achievements and promoting international
cooperation in the global energy sector.
Co-hosted by the
People's Government of Shanxi Province, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, National
Development and Reform Commission, Ministry of Science and Technology, Ministry
of Commerce and National Energy Administration, the event this year features an
opening ceremony and summit forum, an exhibition on energy revolution and six
sub-forums.
While
highlighting the national theme of energy revolution, the forum aims to show
the world China's achievements and determination in advancing energy revolution
as well as its call for further international cooperation.
The event also
serves as a great opportunity for Shanxi to enhance its influence at home and
abroad, lead energy revolution and promote energy transformation and
development. It is of great significance for Shanxi to transform from a major
coal consumer to a pioneer in energy revolution and embrace high-quality
development.
Shanxi places
more emphasis on attracting expertise from around the world for this year's
forum. It has strengthened the exchanges with the International Energy Agency,
foreign provinces or states with friendship relationship, elite universities as
well as research institutions. Meanwhile, it has deepened cooperation with
leading energy companies in the world to build demonstration projects on
international cooperation.
Shanxi province
opens up to welcome all friends at home and abroad and intends to cooperate
with international partners in energy transformation and reform.
It hopes the
forum will provide a platform of consultation, contribution, and shared
benefits for various parties to promote global energy transformation, jointly
address the challenge of climate change, reach a consensus on fully
implementing the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, and deepen
pragmatic cooperation.
To thoroughly
implement the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of
China and the important arguments of Xi on energy reform, the forum will help
to practice the country's goals, policies, requirements and strategies on
energy, promote energy consumption, supply, technology, institutional
revolution and all-round international cooperation. It will also push forward
the Shanxi
energy revolution comprehensive reform pilot program.
Through the
forum, Shanxi will gather global wisdom, bring about new ideas for economic
development and fulfill its mission given by the central government to provide
valuable experience in energy revolution for the rest of the country.
The reform
program in Shanxi is expected to be a pioneering one in exploring ways to carry
out such programs nationwide. It is a comprehensive one that involves various
fields and tackles deep-rooted problems in China's economic development.
Taking this
forum as an opportunity, Shanxi determines to shoulder its responsibility and
resolutely achieve the strategic goals of energy transformation and reform as a
good example for the rest of the country or even the world.
