China-Britain energy cooperation sets model for global climate battle

TOWARDS A GREENER FUTURE

While striding forward with their fruitful energy cooperation, top leaders in both China and Britain are well aware of the challenges posed by climate change.

On many occasions during his British trip, Xi spoke highly of the achievements scored by the two countries in their pursuit of green development and called for continued efforts in policy coordination and practical cooperation.

In a new sign of their steadfast efforts in tackling climate change, the two countries inked during Xi's visit a memorandum of understanding on forging a partnership on clean energy.

Moreover, in a landmark joint declaration on building a "global comprehensive strategic partnership for the 21st century," the two countries specified several key areas of bilateral cooperation and tackling climate change is one of them.

It is safe to say that China and Britain have got immense economic motives and strong political will to usher in a greener future for themselves and also for the whole world.
