"China highly values ecological and environmental protection," the president said. "Guided by the conviction that clear waters and lush mountains are invaluable assets, the country advocates harmonious coexistence between humans and nature, and sticks to the path of green and sustainable development."
Xi said he believed that the annual conference — this year themed "Embracing a new era of eco-civilization: green development with high priority to ecology" — would help all parties strengthen consensus and cooperation for the development of global ecological civilization.
