GLOBALink | 3rd China Xizang Trans-Himalaya Forum for Int'l Cooperation concludes

The third China-Xijiang Trans-Himalaya Forum for International Cooperation concluded on Friday in the city of Ningqi, southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region. The three-day forum attracted representatives from more than 40 countries, regions, and international organizations. Foreign guests attending the forum spoke highly of Tibet's major achievements in ecological civilization and economic and social development, and appreciated the important role played by the forum in strengthening exchanges and cooperation among countries in the Trans-Himalaya region for common development and prosperity. They also expressed their expectation to further strengthen exchanges and cooperation with China, jointly cope with climate change and other challenges, protect the ecological environment, and achieve sustainable development. This kind of forum has a very great importance. You know, the people of different nations in Trans-Himalayan regions are over here. Development depends on collective wisdom. And this Trans-Himalayan Forum is not just for one country. It is for all. We are talking about the climate change. Climate change is a very, you know, crucial thing. The Xinjiang Autonomous Region is a beautiful, spectacular region with great mountains and valleys and such a wonderful historic ancestral culture. We have been able to see how the cultural diversity of the region is being promoted and preserved. We can see how people are prospering. This is the first time that Nicaragua has had the honor to participate. And we can see how the countries in the Trans-Himalayan region have strengthened their cooperation so much. Cooperation in the field of ecological conservation, cultural and historic collaborations, exchanges. I think that being from Nicaragua, a country that's so far away, there are many areas in which we can learn and cooperate.
