China will continue promoting green development: Vice-Premier
China will continue promoting green development and ecological protection, in a willingness to build a better community with other countries for future generations, Vice-Premier Hu Chunhua said on Thursday.
Hu made the remarks on China Day during the ongoing International Horticultural Exhibition held at the foot of the Great Wall in Beijing's Yanqing district.
"We're ready to make joint efforts with the international community to provide clean energy and a green industrial chain to conserve the ecosystem of our homeland," said Hu, also chairman of the exhibition organizing committee.
Hu said that an international green development alliance with Belt and Road countries will be established soon.
His words echoed President Xi Jinping's speech at the opening ceremony of the exhibition on April 29.
"Every generation has its own mission. Our efforts to conserve the ecosystem will benefit not only this generation, but many more to come," Xi said.
Noting that a beautiful homeland is the shared aspiration of mankind, Xi called for other nations to address global problems such as climate change and marine pollution, along with China.
