China, Japan aim for stronger partnership in green development

2024-11-11 03:14 Last Updated At：06:17

China and Japan expressed their willingness on Saturday to further deepen cooperation in the energy conservation and environmental protection sectors.

The announcement was made at the 17th China-Japan Comprehensive Forum on Energy Conservation and Environmental Protection in Tokyo, Japan.

The forum was jointly hosted by China’s National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) and Ministry of Commerce, along with Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Japan-China Economic Association.

Both China and Japan expressed their willingness to further deepen cooperation in the energy conservation and environmental protection industries, engage in green and low-carbon technology cooperation, strengthen collaboration on combating climate change, and jointly promote global and regional green and low-carbon development.

During the event, over 800 participants from both countries engaged in in-depth discussions, participated in five sub-forums, and signed 27 cooperation agreements.

The forum, a key international cooperation platform, has been successfully held 17 times since 2006, aiming to promote collaboration between China and Japan in energy conservation, environmental protection, and green development, with a total of 457 cooperation projects signed to date.

Israeli strike kills over 30 in eastern Gaza neighborhood

A major Israeli air strike on the Shejaiya neighborhood in the east of Gaza City Wednesday has left at least 30 people dead, with dozens injured or missing under the rubble.

Shejaiya is one of the most densely populated neighborhoods of Gaza City. In one alley about eight homes have been reportedly hit and massively destroyed.

Resident Hussam Abu Sakran was trapped under rubbles after the attack. While he was later rescued, his mother did not survive the bombing.

"My mother was beside me. After the strike, I saw her torn apart. She was gone, just like that. How can I live without her? I don't know what to do. I don't know how I'll go on," he said.

The local rescue efforts were challenged by limited resources as they sifted through rubbles.

"Our crew are using the simplest tools, just hammers and bare hands to reach those trapped. We have no proper equipment. The number of the dead and injured is overwhelming, but we're doing everything we can to get them out and to the hospitals," said Ibrahim Abu Al-Rish, a Civil Defense staff member.

The Shejaiya neighborhood borders Israel, and the Israeli forces have enhanced presence in the area over the past several weeks.
