On July 18th, 2024, GVI and KAS jointly held a dialogue on Sino-German sustainable development and organized a delegation visit to the Sinovel Heavy Industry Group in Dalian, Liaoning Province.
During the Dialogue, experts from the two countries discussed the prospects for Sino-German cooperation in green and sustainable development in energy and agriculture, as well as the challenges and opportunities for Sino-German economic relations under the influence of international geopolitics. Both sides have explored the potential of Sino-German cooperation in achieving the sustainable development goals shared by China and Germany.
The attending experts said that China and Germany, as the world's second and third largest economies, should shoulder more responsibilities in energy saving and emission cutting, development of renewable energy and green transformation, and set a benchmark for global sustainable development. Good Sino-German economic and trade ties have long played a crucial role in helping the business community cope with uncertainties and unleash its potential. Openness, mutual trust, and sharing are the keys to building a resilient economic and trade relationship between the two countries. Johann Fuhrmann, Chief Representative of KAS’s Beijing Office, and Ren Libo, President of GVI, delivered speeches for the event.
The working group of Dalian Sinovel Heavy Industry Group led the delegation to tour its new energy equipment manufacturing base, which boasts of a world’s first-class all-process lean digital factory, focusing on manufacturing high-end core components such as gearboxes, electronic control systems, hydraulic systems, etc., and has the capability of processing large steel castings, forgings, heat treatment, and high-precision gears.
