BEIJING, Nov. 25 (BSS/Xinhua) — China and Japan on Sunday signed cooperation
agreements for 24 projects in areas including energy conservation, new energy
development and pollution control.
The deals were signed during a forum on bilateral cooperation in energy
conservation and environmental protection held in Beijing.
The areas of cooperation also included the circular economy, smart city
development, and ways to tackle climate change.
He Lifeng, head of the National Development and Reform Commission, said
that as China is vigorously pushing a new round of high-level opening-up, the
country welcomes foreign companies, including Japanese firms, to invest and
do businesses in China.
The forum, which was first held in 2006, has played an important role in
advancing economic and technological exchanges and pragmatic cooperation
between the two countries, He said, suggesting efforts be made to boost
international cooperation and explore new patterns of mutual benefits and
win-win results.
