YINCHUAN, Sept. 5 (Xinhua) — Representatives of the government of Kazakhstan's Atyrau region and enterprises of northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region (NHAR) signed a memorandum of cooperation in combating desertification in Yinchuan City (NHAR administrative center) on Thursday. For the China-Central Asia Cooperation Center to Prevent and Combat Desertification, which opened in July this year in Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, this event was the first experience of bilateral cooperation in this area.
Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region is the only provincial-level region in China that has the status of a model zone for preventing and combating desertification. The above-mentioned center began operating under the Forestry and Grassland Administration of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region. Its establishment is one of the important steps in implementing the results of the 2nd China-Central Asia Summit and is intended to contribute to the construction of the green Belt and Road.
In July of this year, this department organized a study tour of representatives of relevant enterprises to Kazakhstan, during which the government of Atyrau region expressed a firm intention to cooperate.
Deputy Akim of the Atyrau region of Kazakhstan Nurtayev Kairat Talapovich is on a visit to NHAR from September 3 to 6 this year at the head of a delegation to study and adopt the experience of the autonomous region in combating desertification. During the visit, 2 memorandums of cooperation were signed with three local enterprises in the following areas: combating desertification, reconstruction of urban drainage systems and modernization of treatment facilities.
It is reported that about 65 percent of the total area of the Atyrau region is desert land, and about 40 percent of agricultural land is subject to salinization of varying degrees of severity. The deputy akim is confident that, based on the signed documents, the parties will jointly implement a number of large projects, and declared their readiness to provide comprehensive support. -0-
