Partners drawn to green BRI project

More than 80 institutions from home and abroad have expressed a desire to become partners in a green development coalition in the Belt and Road Initiative, a senior official said.

China sent invitations for coalition partners early this year. With preparations underway, the coalition is expected to be launched in April, said Guo Jing, head of international cooperation for the Ministry of Ecology and Environment.

Guo made the remark at the annual general meeting of the China Council for International Cooperation on Environment and Development, which concluded on Saturday in Beijing.
