Moscow, May 19 (Xinhua) — China is confidently advancing scientific and technological progress through open cooperation, promoting common development by sharing innovative achievements. These activities are aimed at stimulating global sustainable development and modernization of the world, according to an article by Chinese Ambassador to Russia Zhang Hanhui, which was published in the Russian newspaper Trud on Monday.
“The Belt and Road Initiative is implementing a program to support scientific and technological innovation. More than 10,000 young scientists and engineers from countries participating in the initiative have completed short-term internships and exchanges of experience in China. More than 70 joint laboratories have been created, as well as 10 international centers for technology transfer for countries in the Arab world, ASEAN, etc. These measures are aimed at strengthening the scientific and technological potential of the above-mentioned countries, as well as stimulating economic growth and improving the standard of living of their populations,” the diplomat writes.
China is actively promoting its approaches to global governance in science and technology, he notes. A global scientific research fund has been established. Initiatives on global governance of artificial intelligence, global data security, international scientific and technological cooperation, and international cooperation in open science have been consistently presented, which are designed to establish the principles of openness, honesty, fairness, and non-discrimination in international scientific and technological innovation.
“These initiatives propose to solve global problems through cooperation in scientific innovation, promote peaceful development and build a global scientific and technological community,” Zhang Hanhui emphasizes.
He points out that China, as a responsible power, has taken on the mission of promoting global green transformation. China is actively cooperating with more than 100 countries and regions in green energy projects. “This cooperation is aimed at ensuring the availability of technologies and the creation of a global ecological civilization,” the diplomat writes.
“Practice shows that the policy of breaking ties and disconnecting chains, as well as erecting barriers, only slows down scientific and technological progress around the world, harms the development of global industry and exacerbates inequality between countries. Openness, inclusiveness, mutual benefit and sharing of achievements are the key principles of successful international cooperation in science and technology. Real scientific and technological innovations sooner or later overcome regional and state borders, becoming a beacon illuminating the path to the progress of human civilization,” the Chinese Ambassador to the Russian Federation notes in his article. -0-
