Shenzhen, July 29 /Xinhua/ — Chinese State Council Vice Premier He Lifeng attended and delivered a speech at the opening ceremony of the APEC 2026 Ministerial Meeting on Forestry, held on Tuesday in Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province, South China.
In his speech, the Deputy Prime Minister stated that historic, groundbreaking, and comprehensive changes have taken place in China in the field of environmental protection, both in the understanding of this area and in practice.
Having achieved rapid economic development and long-term social stability, China has simultaneously paved the way for Chinese modernization, characterized by the harmonious coexistence of humans and nature, said He Lifeng.
The Asia-Pacific region /APR/, he noted, is one of the regions with the richest forest resources and the most diverse ecosystems in the world, accounting for more than 50 percent of the planet’s total forest area.
China is consistently committed to ensuring global environmental security and promoting environmental culture and “green” approaches, contributing Chinese wisdom and Chinese solutions to environmental protection in the Asia-Pacific region and the world as a whole, emphasized the Vice Premier, adding that through the joint efforts of all parties, the Asia-Pacific region has become a main force in reversing the trend of the global reduction of forest resources.
Under the current environmental situation in the Asia-Pacific region, China will continue to accelerate the “green” transformation of economic and social development, said He Lifeng. According to him, the country is ready to work with all parties to jointly promote high-quality development of forestry in this region.
