BEIJING: More than 20 envoys from 15 countries were given a tour of green energy and environmental protection projects in four Jiangsu province cities recently.
During the tour, which was organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ department of foreign affairs management, the envoys visited more than 10 green energy projects and businesses in Nantong, Wuxi, Changzhou and the provincial capital Nanjing from Monday to Thursday last week.
They saw electric car production workshops, solar panels built into fish ponds and experienced self-driving vehicles. They also had exchanges with government officials and leaders of China’s green energy industry and attended a green energy industry conference.
Many of the envoys said the tour had left a deep impression on them and they are looking forward to more cooperation in green energy between their countries and China.
Grahame Morton, New Zealand’s ambassador to China, said he visited green technology giant Envision Group and was impressed by Wuxi’s flourishing green energy industry. He added that he expected more cooperation with Wuxi as New Zealand has potential offshore wind energy. Irit Ben-Abba, Israel’s ambassador to China, said that Israel and Jiangsu already have effective cooperation and she is looking forward to deepening cooperation with the province in more fields. –The Daily Mail-China Daily news exchange item
