Commit together, create together, share together

——Written at the opening of the 2020 China Mining Conference & Exhibition

Over the past 21 years, China Mining Conference & Exhibition (hereinafter referred to as CHINA MINING) has witnessed the development of international cooperation in the mining industry towards multi-levels, multi-fields, multi-channels and multi-modes.

CHINA MINING has been successfully held for 21 sessions and ranked among global top mining events, due to its gathering of wisdom, response to concerns and courage of innovation. It is a high-end social platform covering the whole industry chain, a platform for investors to obtain information and opportunities, channels for mining owners to attract investment funds, information boards for survey operators to understand market trends, a bridge between scientists and mining industry, a "weathervane" and "scanner" of mining market development trend, a consultation platform of mining policies and investment consulting interpretation...

Through CHINA MINING, China mining industry is being perceived by the world as green, safe, harmonious, intelligent and efficient.

We have implemented the requirements for ecological progress, firmly established new concept of development, adhere to the principle of saving and protection first, natural recovery predominating, properly handled the relationship between resource exploitation and environmental protection, vigorously promoted advanced technologies for the comprehensive utilization of mineral resources, promoted the formation of a spatial pattern, industrial structure, mode of production and way of life aiming at saving resources and protecting the environment .

We are committed to ensuring that the fruits of mining development benefit all the people, focusing on poverty eradication, job creation and improvement of people's livelihood. We adhere to the balance of resource development and community development, and promote the development of mining enterprises, and the benefit of people in mining areas and the harmonious relationship between mining and region.

We promote scientific and technological innovation in the mining sector, accelerated the development of digitized, intelligent, informationized and automated mines, developed the "Internet + Mining industry", improved the basic ability of mine intelligentization, improved the level of mine intelligent technology and equipment, raised the level of intelligence in new mines.

As the COVID-19 epidemic continues to spread globally, the economic trend against globalization continues to develop, the road ahead for mining cooperation is not smooth. "Responsibility, Innovation and Governance" is a timely theme of this year’s conference. At this moment, we need to shoulder the responsibility of revitalizing the mining industry, innovate thinking mode, optimize global mineral resources governance, and build community of shared future for global mining more than ever.

International authorities have unanimously predicted that under the influence of COVID-19, the global economy will fall into a deep recession, which will bring severe challenges to the mining industry. The recovery of geological exploration is strangled. Major mining companies have weathered the coVID-19 storm, but long-term risks remain uncertain.

Despite there are several challenges in this year, positive signs have already shown up. The recovery of China's economy leads to the recovery of China's mining industry, which gives hope to the recovery of the world's mining economy. In the first three quarters, China's economic growth turned from negative to positive, and indicators related to mining are improving.

Just as the prevention and control of the epidemic requires international cooperation, in order to ensure a lasting recovery of the mining industry, the first step is to strengthen international cooperation. Perhaps a good solution can be found in this year's conference.

Online tour exhibition, online negotiation, online exhibition hall, keynote session, featured forum, country promotion, project promotion, online exhibition... Aiming at the hot issues faced by global mining industry under the new situation, this year’s conference provides a new communication platform and all-round service services for mining owners, investors, technical service providers, equipment manufacturers and so on.

Featured forums include six sections: capital market, mining investment environment, corporate social responsibility, market and situation analysis, intelligent mining and innovation and development. The number of forums is simplified, while the quality is not reduced.

CHINA MINING has employed a third-party as the network technical support to produce "CHINA MINING cloud platform" to display enterprises, equipment, projects and services. There is negotiation function module for each online exhibition hall, with text and video communication function to realize 24-hour online negotiation.

No country in the world can meet its own needs of economic and social development solely on the basis of domestic mineral resources. The global supply chain of mineral resources is an integral whole. In the face of the strong impact of COVID-19 on global economy, any weakness will lead to the possibility of rupture in the global supply chain of mineral resources. Trade protectionism and resource nationalism are not conducive to the stability of the global supply chain of mineral resources, and will also affect the realization of the security goal of the supply chain of mineral resources.

In the spirit of openness and inclusiveness and high quality development concept, this conference will help create a new pattern of domestic and international "double cycle" development, build a more efficient platform for dialogue and cooperative, promote exchanges and cooperation between Chinese enterprises and overseas partners in mineral exploration, mining, processing, technical equipment, investment and financing, trade services, promote the prosperity and sustainable development of the international mining industry.

Nothing can separate people with shared goals and vision. As a responsible mining country, China will actively advance the One Belt And One Road initiative and international cooperation on production capacity. We hope to work with our international counterparts to promote CHINA MINING towards more internationalization, marketization and standardization. (Editorial Dept of China Mining News)
