⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The 26th China Mining Conference and Exhibition opened in north China's Tianjin Municipality on Tuesday, with the goal of promoting international cooperation in the mining sector for win-win outcomes.   The four-day event, themed "Promoting Mining Cooperation for a Better Future," is expected to attract nearly 400 exhibitors from over 30 countries and regions.   Over 23 forums and 12 product and brand promotion sessions are set to be held during the event.   After years' development, the event has become a platform for global mining industry to hold dialogs and seek investment and business opportunities.

"China is a major mining producer, importer, processor and consumer. This is determined by the country's economic structure, which features domestic trade foreign trade," said Che Changbo, Secretary of China Mining Association.   The global mining industry is increasingly shifting its focus toward the new energy sector, with demand for key materials like bronze, lithium, nickel and cobalt expected to quadruple over the next 20 years.

"China has taken a leading role in solar energy development, which raises the bar for new energy storage batteries. We are now accelerating the development of new energy storage batteries and new energy vehicles, which will not only affect the vehicle industry, but more importantly, the future energy," said Che.

On Monday, reports on China's mineral resources and global mining development were released, which suggest that artificial intelligence, big data, satellite and remote sensing and the Internet of Things technologies could be applied into the mining industry to help conserve resources and achieve sustainability.

Celebrations were held for a young giant panda cub who turned six-months-old on Wednesday at the Chimelong Safari Park in Guangzhou City of south China's Guangdong Province.

Panda cub Mei Zhu was born at the zoo on June 18 to mother Meng Meng, the eldest of the world's only giant panda triplets who this year turned ten-years-old.

Zookeepers held a public event to mark the adorable panda's half-year milestone on Wednesday, and prepared a special "birthday cake" made with tender bamboo shoots, carrots, and other ingredients for Mei Zhu to feast on.

The party continued as more toys and special equipment was added to her play area, ensuring an entertaining day for the cuddly cub.

After enjoying her cake, Mei Zhu was weighed, measured, and given a physical check-up, with the young cub said to be growing healthily and in good condition, according to staff at the Chimelong Safari Park.

"Currently, the giant panda cub is in the phase of learning to climb trees, engaging in playful wrestling with its mother, and mastering the art of eating bamboo shoots and leaves. She was born at a weight of 178 grams and now weighs 10.88 kilograms. She's in excellent health," said giant panda keeper Chen Shuqing.

Mei Zhu was the first newborn panda at China Conservation and Research Center for Giant Pandas' Guangdong Site this year.

Her mother Meng Meng was also born in Guangzhou back in July 2014, along with her two brothers Shuai Shuai and Ku Ku.
