CAIRO, Nov. 10-- Arab and Chinese officials and businessmen have met in the Egyptian capital Cairo to discuss future cooperation in the field of energy, particularly renewable energy. During the sixth session of the Arab-China Cooperation Conference on Energy from Nov. 5 to 8, the two sides highlighted the significance of the ongoing energy projects carried out by Chinese corporations in Arab states, as well as opportunities for further Arab-China collaboration. The fields of sustainable, renewable and clean energy were highlighted as a key area of energy cooperation between the two sides. "Energy has become a matter of national security for every state all over the world, including China, Egypt and all Arab countries," said Mohamed Mousa, head of the Arab delegation in the forum, and the first undersecretary for research, planning and international cooperation at Egypt's Ministry of Electricity and Renewable Energy. "Arab states can cooperate with China in this field and there are large opportunities in Arab states to establish renewable energy plants and manufacture their equipment," Mousa told Xinhua on the sidelines of the conference. Liu Baohua, deputy administrator of China's National Energy Administration (NEA) who led the Chinese delegation, said that the pragmatic cooperation between China and the Arab world in the fields of oil and gas, electricity, nuclear power and renewable energy continues to deepen, describing it as "solid and fruitful." |
