BEIJING, July 8 (Xinhua) — China will contribute more wisdom, technology and solutions to the development of high-speed rail worldwide by adhering to the concept of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, Vice Premier Zhang Guoqing said Tuesday.
Zhang Guoqing, also a member of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, made the remarks while speaking at the opening ceremony of the 12th World Congress on High-Speed Rail.
As the vice premier noted, thanks to its commitment to innovation-driven development, China has built the world's largest high-speed rail network and become a global leader in related technologies. According to him, these achievements have greatly improved travel convenience, promoted regional connectivity and the coordinated socio-economic development of China.
Zhang Guoqing stressed that China is willing to deepen cooperation with other countries by actively developing bilateral and multilateral railway cooperation, and is also willing to comprehensively promote the "hard connectivity" of infrastructure facilities and the "soft connectivity" of rules and standards.
The Vice Prime Minister stressed the importance of more active technology exchange. He noted that China is willing to share its experience in building and operating high-speed railways with other countries and jointly promote the widespread use of advanced technologies in the railway sector.
Efforts should also be made to coordinate the implementation of major projects and "small but beautiful" initiatives to improve living standards so as to more effectively promote economic growth and improve people's well-being, Zhang Guoqing added.
The 12th World Congress on High-Speed Rail, themed “High-Speed Rail: Innovation and Development for a Better Life,” opened on Tuesday. More than 2,000 participants from more than 60 countries, regions and international organizations attended the opening ceremony.
