She added this had significantly boosted global energy transition and green, low-carbon, and sustainable development.
Mai highlighted China’s clean energy projects in Africa, such as the Garissa PV power plant in Kenya, which reduced CO2 emissions by 64,000 tonnes annually, and the Kaleta hydropower plant in Guinea, which had eased electricity shortages.
She emphasised China’s commitment to green development, ecological protection, and resource conservation, as outlined in the third plenary session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
Mai also addressed China’s economic growth, stating that the country had been among the fastest-growing major economies, accounting for around 30 per cent of global growth.
She highlighted China’s efforts to support developing countries’ capacity-building through international development cooperation.’
She also highlighted China’s commitment to building a modernised world with peaceful development, mutually beneficial cooperation, and common prosperity.(NAN)
