Green development
In the keynote speech by the Chinese Vice-President during the Saturday opening plenary of the Boao Forum for Asia Annual Conference 2010, he said that China is willing to work together with Asia to “change the development mode, fulfil green development, place high attention on technology, support innovative development, expand openness, strive towards harmonious development, continue to reinforce cooperation and mutual development, eliminate poverty, gradually realise balanced development, cultivate talents and promote all-round development”.
The other seven leaders who also made a keynote speech were from Laos, Denmark, Mongolia, Iran, Afghanistan, Timor-Leste as well as Cambodia. Each of them introduced to the plenary about their country’s economic development and promotion for a green economy. According to Xi Jinping, “green development and sustainable development are the trends in today’s world”.
In order to achieve these goals in Asia and around the globe, Xi said all Asian countries should “coordinate economic growth, social development and environmental protection, so that air, fresh water, oceans, land and forest resources which are necessary to human survival can be developed sustainably”.
