Beijing, November 25 (Xinhua) — The 7th China-Russia Energy Business Forum opened in Beijing on Tuesday. Vice Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China Ding Xuexiang delivered a speech at the opening ceremony and read a congratulatory message from Chinese President Xi Jinping.
Ding Xuexiang, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, recalled that this year the two heads of state held several meetings and telephone conversations, and also sent congratulatory messages to the current forum, giving strategic guidance for the consistent strengthening of the Sino-Russian comprehensive cooperation and partnership in the energy sector.
At the Fourth Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee, strategic instructions were issued to expand high-level opening-up and build a powerful energy power, which opened up new important opportunities for energy cooperation between China and Russia, the Vice Premier of the State Council emphasized.
He noted that China is ready to work with Russia to further implement the important consensus reached by the two heads of state, continuously deepen strategic cooperation in the energy sector, and continually explore new horizons of cooperation for mutual benefit. The Vice Premier of the State Council put forward three proposals for deepening Chinese-Russian energy cooperation.
First, Ding Xuexiang called on the two sides to strengthen cooperation across the entire industrial chain, ensure the safe and stable operation of cross-border energy corridors, and ensure smooth trade in energy resources.
Secondly, as Ding Xuexiang pointed out, the two sides should strengthen cooperation in the field of energy transition, actively expand application scenarios, and further unlock the potential of cooperation in areas such as renewable energy.
Third, Ding Xuexiang called on the two sides to strengthen cooperation in multilateral formats and jointly promote the implementation of the Global Energy Governance Initiative, bringing more stability and certainty to the global energy market.
