These discussions focused on the vital issues of international urban exchanges and Chaoyang District's strengths in service industry openness.

 

In his opening remarks, Zhang Guanbin, Deputy Mayor of Chaoyang District, emphasized Chaoyang's role as a crucial gateway for international exchanges in the capital and highlighted the district's successful cooperation with ASEAN countries. He expressed Chaoyang's readiness to leverage its advantages to provide high-standard, internationalized services in finance, commerce, and technology to bolster China-ASEAN economic and trade cooperation.

 

During the "Urban Practices and Sister City Exchanges for Green Development" panel, Linda Wong shared insights on advancing urban green practices and fostering multi-level cooperation under the sister city framework. She emphasized the importance of integrating biodiversity conservation and green development into urban planning and international collaborations. Alongside Linda Wong, Dai Jianjun, Secretary-General of the Beijing People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries, and Elizani T.X. Nadia Sumanpo, Economic Counselor of the Indonesian Embassy in China, discussed case studies and valuable experiences in green urban development and international cooperation. The session was moderated by Wu Mengqi, a researcher from CCG.

 

The event underscored the significance of sustainable development in regional economic and trade cooperation. It provided a platform for exchanging ideas and forging partnerships that align with the United Nations 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.
