Themed "Innovation, Green Development and Prosperity," the 7th China-Arab States Expo, recently held in Yinchuan, northwest China's Ningxia Hui autonomous region, witnessed deepened cooperation between China and Arab states in sectors such as artificial intelligence and clean energy.
During the expo, the China-Arab States Technology Transfer Center released 500 advanced and applicable technologies for Arab countries.
These are system-level solutions that can be rapidly deployed, scaled up, and promoted across regions, covering six key sectors including green agriculture, ecological conservation, environmental protection, high-end equipment, and intelligent manufacturing.
Critically, these innovations address challenges in Arab nations, including food security, desertification control, and industrial upgrading.
According to Luo Xiwen, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, China's practical experience demonstrates how smart agriculture boosts labor productivity, and enhances input-output efficiency and resource utilization. He emphasized that sharing these advancements would enhance future cooperation.
Since 2015, the expo has introduced over 1,300 advanced technologies, facilitated the signing of 109 technology cooperation agreements. It has organized 24 sessions of international technical training programs, and trained over 1,000 skilled professionals for Arab countries.It has become an important platform for the Belt and Road Initiative sci-tech cooperation between China and Arab states.
Since the China-Arab States Technology Transfer Center was launched, there has been robust sci-tech cooperation between both sides, anchored in mutual commitment and trust.
Chen Fang, deputy director of the Ningxia Department of Science and Technology, said in the future, Ningxia would leverage the expo's permanent venue to build it into a technology transfer hub for Arab nations and an innovation cooperation demonstration zone, contributing Ningxia's solutions to building a China-Arab community with a shared future.
