Foreign experts admire Qingdao's marine industries


In February, Qingdao unveiled the UN Ocean Decade Collaborative Center on Ocean-Climate Nexus, the only one in Asia, as well as the Ocean Decade International Cooperation Center, the only one in China, further solidifying its importance in advancing sustainable ocean science.
In the first half of this year, Qingdao has achieved a total marine production value of 247.94 billion yuan ($33.8 billion). The cargo throughput and container throughput of Qingdao Port of Shandong Port Group in the first seven months of the year reached 407 million metric tons and 16.43 million TEUs, respectively, ranking fourth and third in China.
The visit of the foreign experts to Qingdao served as a prelude to their participation in the upcoming International Conference on Environment, Development, and Human Rights, which is scheduled to be held in Beijing on Tuesday.
