---Entrusted by the Ministry of Commerce
(MOFCOM), HRC conducts 2015 Seminar on Rural Electrification
for Asian Countries from 14 May to 3 June. Twenty-five
officials and engineers from five Asian countries, i.e.
Georgia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal and Pakistan, came to
attend this seminar, which is the 72nd China-aid training
program implemented by HRC since its establishment.
The opening ceremony of the seminar
was held at the multifunctional hall of HRC and presided
over by Mr. Lin Ning, the Division Chief of Foreign Affairs
and Training. Deputy Directors of HRC, Mr. Xu Jincai and
Mr. Huang Jianping were present, extending their warm
welcome to all the participants who came all the way here
for the significant event.
Deputy Director Xu firstly reviewed
that in 2013, Chinese President Xi Jinping put forward
the two concepts of "Silk Road Economic Belt"
and "21st Century Maritime Silk Road" during
his visits to Central Asia and Southeast Asia, which has
received high attention from the international community.
For the past two years, the initiative on building "One
Belt and One Road" has greatly helped promote China's
cooperation with countries from Central Asia and Southeast
Asia, in areas like trade and monetary cooperation, traffic
connectivity and people-to-people exchanges. In recent
years, the world economy has entered an era of restructuring
and transformation. Asia is also facing big challenges
like the adjustment of economic structure and the transformation
of economic development mode. For Asia and the world,
strengthened cooperation and innovation as well as building-up
of a low-carbon society is the effective way to the solution
to energy problem and sustainable development of the society.
With the subject of rural electrification, the seminar
is designated to provide a platform for Asian countries
to fully discuss and communicate in the field of rural
electrification and the development of SHP, wind power
and solar energy, focusing on the exchange of updated
technology and management practice. Deputy Director Xu
heartily wished the seminar a great success, so as to
make further contribution to the rural electrification
in the Asian countries.
Ms.SARUUL BAYARSAIKHAN, Project Manager
of Infrastructure Network LLC, delivered a speech on behalf
of all the participants "ˇˇwe would like to thank
our sponsor the Ministry of Commerce of China and our
