In his opening speech at the forum, Mr. Dai Gang, Director-General of the Department of International Cooperation of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, said the Chinese government attaches great importance to the development of the new energy industry and innovative international cooperation, and is playing an important role on the global stage. During the 13th Five-Year Plan period, China's R&D spending in the clean energy has steadily increased. China has become a key global technology developer and manufacturer in industries such as solar photovoltaics, wind turbines and electric vehicles. Through international cooperation, all parties are working together to foster new dynamics for global development, accelerate technology transfer and knowledge sharing, promote low-carbon transformation, and facilitate stronger and greener global development. We are willing to work with East Asian countries to continuously promote pragmatic cooperation in the field of new energy, further enhance the level of science and technology innovation cooperation, and jointly promote integrated regional innovation development and sustainable development. In the future, China will accelerate the construction of a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system, innovate the mode of new energy development and utilization, in-depth study the systemic issues after the gradual increase of the share of new energy, enhance the intelligence and digitalization of related products, accelerate the effective replacement of new energy, and lay a solid foundation for achieving the goal of carbon emission peak and carbon neutrality.
Mr. Chen Junjie, Counsellor of the Department of Asian Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, said that ASEAN is a key region of the "Belt and Road" and China firmly supports the cooperation of the ASEAN Community. Last year, General Secretary Xi Jinping and ASEAN leaders jointly announced the establishment of China-ASEAN comprehensive strategic partnership and the initiative to build a peaceful, secure, prosperous, beautiful and friendly homeland. In order to build a beautiful home, China will deepen cooperation with ASEAN in the field of climate change, new energy, clean energy, etc., and work together to promote energy transformation in the cooperation region, China is also willing to strengthen scientific research cooperation with East Asia Summit member countries in the field of renewable energy, technology transfer, and play a huge driving role in science and technology innovation.China encourages business and academic circles to build a more open and inclusive favorable environment, exchange and promote practices and standards in line with regional realities, popularize the application of new energy products, and provide new impetus for post-epidemic economic recovery. China is willing to develop friendly cooperation with other countries, deepen and expand the equal, open and cooperative global partnership and continuously expand the meeting point of interests with other countries. China is willing to share opportunities with all parties, deepen cooperation, and jointly write a new chapter of energy cooperation in East Asia.
Mr. Wang Xueqin, Party Secretary and Director-General of the Yunnan Province Science and Technology Department, said in his speech that we insist on balancing development and ecology, focusing on hydropower development and planning as a whole the coordinated development of oil, natural gas, coal and new energy, and continuously promoting the deep integration of digitalization, information technology, intelligent construction, hydropower construction and operation management, improving the level of clean energy utilization, and actively build a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system. At present, Yunnan Province has built 13 cross-border power networking channels, and together with Vietnam, Laos, Myanmar achieved local power networking; China-Myanmar oil and gas pipeline is fully operational and has become China's fourth largest energy land import channel. At the same time, according to the layout multi-energy complementary of “integrated system of wind-photovoltaic-hydro-thermal-energy storage”, Yunnan Province has strengthened the development of hydropower, wind power, photovoltaic, petrochemical and other energy core key technologies, carried out research on key energy storage technologies and smart grid technologies, broken through and mastered a number of core key technologies with independent intellectual property rights, and promoted green energy and green manufacturing. The industry chain is deeply integrated and high-end leap, helping to transform the advantages of natural resources into economic development advantages. With the help and support of the Ministry of Science and Technology, Yunnan has built national-level innovation cooperation platforms such as China-South Asia Technology Transfer Center, China-ASEAN Innovation Center and China BRICS Technology Transfer Center, implemented four actions such as science and technology humanities exchanges, joint laboratories, science and technology park cooperation and technology transfer, etc., which have laid a solid foundation for international science and technology cooperation in the field of new energy. In recent years, Yunnan Province has organized and implemented 72 international science and technology cooperation projects in the field of new energy, built 12 joint laboratories with countries along the "Belt and Road" Initiative, set up 11 international science and technology cooperation bases, and established 3 cross-border science and technology demonstration parks. By deepening the cooperation with other countries in the field of new energy, we have promoted the regional synergistic development of new and renewable energy, and provided "Yunnan wisdom" and "Yunnan solutions" to promote the formation of a regional innovation system for green energy technology that integrates research and development, promotion and application, and industrial development.
