Enerny Forum Asia Opens in GZ, Wang Unveils GD's Energy Prospect
The first "Energy Forum Asia" commenced in Guangzhou yesterday (Aug 9th) with as main theme "Energy revolution, growth, green and cooperation". The secretary of Guangdong's CPC Committee, Wang Yang, spoke at the opening and said that although Guangdong is the most prosperous province in China, it is also one badly in need of energy. He said that since 2006 measures taken to reduce the emission of pollutants have proven to be effective, which lays good foundations for socio-economic sustainable development. For Guangdong's energy prospect, Wang suggested the province strengthen its efforts to develop new energies:
"We will work with the international community, in particular with other Asian countries, to tackle energy issues on the basis of equality and mutual benefits, as well as showing a highly responsible attitude towards humanity."
The "Energy Forum Asia" is a Non-Governmental and Non-Profitable international organization. Guangzhou is now home to the forum.
