Under the trend of energy structure adjustment and energy technology transformation, achieving high-quality connectivity is the key to energy cooperation and green and low-carbon development.

Under the current circumstances, how can we play the role of the "Belt and Road" energy cooperation platform, promote high-quality energy connectivity, and work together to promote green energy investment cooperation, and help countries along the "Belt and Road" to recover green economies?

At the second "Belt and Road" Energy Ministers' Meeting, all parties involved conducted in-depth exchanges on "high-quality connectivity to help energy trade and investment", which brought about a collision of different views and development paths.

Chinese enterprises, an important fulcrum of energy cooperation

The "Belt and Road" runs through the Asia, Europe and Africa continent. On one end is the active East Asian economic circle and on the other end is the developed European economic circle. In the middle are hinterland countries with great potential.

"The roads are open and all industries are prosperous." Infrastructure is the cornerstone of connectivity and a key path to reduce the cost of international economic activities and promote international economic and trade growth. In terms of breaking the bottlenecks in infrastructure construction in countries along the "Belt and Road", Chinese enterprises have demonstrated their responsibility and responsibility.

In Pakistan, the Mera project has the world's most advanced DC transmission technology, which is of great significance to Pakistan's unblocking the north-south power artery, reducing national grid losses, optimizing power layout, and promoting Pakistan's economic development and industrialization process. As the flagship project of the Belt and Road Initiative, Pakistan has witnessed the great success of the construction of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor.

The "circle of friends" for energy cooperation is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more Chinese companies are actively joining to provide "Chinese solutions" for energy development in countries along the "Belt and Road" and use clean energy to support the beautiful vision of building a community with a shared future for mankind.

Over the past eight years, as a basic priority area of ​​the "Belt and Road Initiative", China has strengthened cooperation with countries and regions along the "Belt and Road" in infrastructure fields such as roads, railways, aviation, maritime transportation, energy and information infrastructure, and has provided regional economies. Growth provides strong momentum and broad space, providing new opportunities for regional and global economic integration.

High-quality interconnected passwords

High-quality interconnection of energy cooperation not only requires the "connection" of infrastructure, but also grasp the content of how to "connect" and "connect".

On the broad territory of the "Belt and Road", strengthening energy cooperation is in line with the common interests of regional countries and brings important development opportunities to regional countries. However, huge differences in political environment, legal systems, etc. also make cooperation face severe challenges.

High-quality interconnection requires policy communication, smooth trade, interoperability of facilities, financial resources, and mutual communication between the people.

At the Second Belt and Road Energy Ministers' Meeting·Special Forum on Energy Trade and Investment, Xu Qinhua, Vice President of the National Development and Strategy Institute of Renmin University of China, said in his keynote speech that we should pay attention to the adjustment of industry policies of countries along the "Belt and Road" route. , With the gradual improvement of climate goals of various countries, how to achieve the transformation from traditional fossil energy to renewable energy is the core issue facing energy companies.

In recent years, the game between big powers has had an impact on the development of the green infrastructure industry, policy barriers in some countries have increased, and industry policy continuity and industry openness have declined.

"Strengthening the vision on the construction of green infrastructure in the Belt and Road should actively lead the international discourse power of ecological civilization with Chinese characteristics in the international dialogue of the Belt and Road." She believes that establishing a Belt and Road ecological civilization communication system and establishing an international public opinion monitoring and analysis mechanism will be established. In the future, we can consider building regional offices in key areas of the Belt and Road Initiative, spreading green investment experience and best practices, absorbing more financial institutions along the route to join the Belt and Road Initiative, and studying the establishment of green guarantee funds.

Embrace the more open Qingdao

At present, Qingdao's high-level opening up is expanding in depth, and cooperation in the energy field of the "Belt and Road" has also entered a new stage of development.

During the Second Belt and Road Energy Ministers' Meeting, the Belt and Road Energy Cooperation Network and the China-Shanghai Cooperation Organization Local Economic and Trade Cooperation Demonstration Zone Management Committee jointly launched a pragmatic action on green energy development and jointly created a new platform for green energy development cooperation in international energy development .

Under this mechanism, we will promote the establishment of relevant enterprise alliances, think tank alliances and industrial funds, attract more technology, funds, talents and project implementation, and the establishment ceremony of the International Green Development Promotion Conference will be held in 2022 to promote green development.
