Top political advisor urges intl' ecological cooperation(2)

Yu also called for a worldwide partnership in building ecological civilization.

Yu highlighted the Chinese government's commitment to conserving resources and protecting the environment, and acknowledged ecological problems like water and air pollution.

Saying the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China has incorporated the development of ecological civilization into the overall plan for socialism, Yu said China will promote green, recyclable and low-carbon development, create a good working and living environment for the people and contribute to global ecological security.

He told his audience that China's building of ecological civilization is open, inclusive and beneficial to other countries, stressing the government's commitment to international ecological and environmental protection.

"China will seriously implement international environmental convention and assume due international obligations in accordance with the principles of common but differentiated responsibilities, fairness and a capability-based mechanism," Yu vowed.

He added that China will work with the international community to build an ecologically good homeland.

Officially established in 2008 as a non-governmental organization based in China, the World Cultural Forum (Taihu, China) is committed to creating an open, multilateral and inclusive platform for international cultural exchanges.
