Join hands to meet challenges and promote sustainable development  --- Writing on the occasion of the CHINA MINING 2012
Source: www.mlr.gov.cn  Citation: www.gtzyb.com  Date: Nov.5, 2012

In early November of Tianjin, the sky was clear. More than 6000 global mining industry delegates with one common dream of industry recovery scheduled to be here once a year to participate in the CHINA MINING Congress and Expo. "Join hands to meet challenges and promote sustainable development" --- CHINA MINING 2012 determine theme on these 8 words, it is not difficult to see that this conference hosted hope. Many people use this word to describe economic situation in the past 2011 and the first half of 2012 ---“uncertainty ".  The global financial crisis of 2008 and even the economic entity crisis such as a tsunami passed. During four years after that, despite the world continue efforts to rescue the market, signs of recovery also appeared repeatedly, but it hasn`t happened to back the beauty of the boom.  According to data published by the OECD, this year`s global economic growth rate will fall to 3.4%, 3.6% lower than last year. The European debt crisis is not the end, the global economy teeter, intensify macroeconomic downside risk, and let the mining development trend in global get more whirling. Global mining index last year after the strong rebound in May but fell sharply. Important mineral product price showed " First after magnified ". since May, the international crude oil prices are falling fast, the iron ore market oversupply, prices in the wave, metal prices rising fast in the beginning of the year after the rapid decline ... ... Political factors, economic factors, natural factors, local war factors, various uncertain factors in the people had hoped for mining recovery path set difficult Hum. The confusion of the mining situation "uncertainty" make once optimistic people feel somewhat embarrassed. But all of this did not prevent the majority of people’s confidence and effort on the development. Join hands to meet challenges and promote sustainable development " is this meaning: Although there will be a lot of difficulties in the road ahead, but we are confident and ready to meet all challenges on the road of development. Such beliefs depend largely on that the global mining industry fully understands China`s economic development.  In fact, under the background that global economic growth in the next two years was expected to be downgraded many times by international organizations such as IMF, many economists believe that China`s economy strong growth play an critical role in the global economic recovery. Hope for a global economic recovery and high hopes for China`s economic growth---several numbers from the upcoming CHINA MINING 2012 show on the take in everything in a glance: more than 50 countries and regions, over 6000 delegates, 22 foreign ministers(deputy ministers), 430 exhibitors. The figures prove the scale, the scale carries attraction, and attraction indicates contribution. Yes, to vigorously promote industrialization, urbanization, agricultural modernization process, China has become the world wide market of mineral products; in the " bringing in" and "going out " process, China mining to extremely active factors appearing on the international stage, in the exploration, has made achievements in development, continue to globalization under the background of the world economy infuse vigor and vitality. Because of this, when the global economy has repeatedly came the "bad news ", China Economic pulling power and China Mining `s contribution to let people see the overcome difficulties, to tide over the difficulties, to promote mining recovery hopes. China mining’s contribution is impressive, but across a global mining recovery road barriers, into the global economic development in the spring, global mining, it must break all kinds of trade barriers to protect, strengthen exchanges and cooperation, join hands to cope with the challenge. To cope with the need for shared responsibility consciousness. Calm analysis of the situation, to protect and promote the healthy and rapid development of economy is to international society`s most urgent task. To accomplish this task, can only work together. Human development to the "global village" era, each individual countries have just one molecule, the global village will rise and fall. Should see, mineral resource heterogeneity, geological science and technology has the imbalance in global development with global distribution, the system of mining management also has the difference, we call the "hand in hand " today, is to fully understand the basis of these factors exist, eliminating barriers through the exchange platform, let the negative, positive energy the energy transformation of all common development, promote the progress of the. Here is a platform for exchange of learning. From 1999 to date, CHINA MINING has been held for 14 years, increasingly large scale, increasingly rich content, the function more perfect. With this platform, China mining and world mining are in the dialogue communication, fusion, regardless of the face of global mining boom or slump, never stop the exploration and progress. In this process, China’s mining is in mature and world’s mining is also in deepening in understanding of China`s mining industry. CHINA MINING today, already same as the Canadian Exploration Developers Association annual meeting, Australian Digger & Dealers Congress and South Africa Mining Indaba, become one of international mining industry brands. As such a mature platform, we hope that the mining industry countries can make full use of the platform of CHINA MINING 2012 and learn from each other, fully communicate, complete the mission of hand in hand. Here is the pragmatic cooperation platform. Further development is not balanced global economic integration and global distribution of mineral resources, mineral resources and other production factors decided to more reasonable configuration -- this is the reason we must be pragmatic cooperation in the global scope. In recent years, Chinese leaders have repeatedly stressed that domestic mining must be based on domestic, and actively participate in international cooperation of mutual benefits. China mining industry strives from inside practice to carry out in geological and mineral exploration and development policy on market-based reform adjustment, pave the way for the improvement of mining investment environment, by means of reserves classification reform and dynamic supervision, social service of geological data, the mining right market reform and exploration, greatly improving the mineral management level, create a good policy and market environment for mining international cooperation of mutual benefit. In last year`s CHINA MINING concluded 485 projects of negotiate and signing agreement, of which 55 projects in the signing ceremony substantive docking, the signing amount of 15.7 billion Yuan. CHINA MINING 2012, besides the rich contents of the forum, seize the opportune moment to design more than 30 ministers meet, 9 field project promotion and mineral resources exploration and development project signing ceremony, at the same time with the exhibition area of 25000 square meters, has attracted over 400 booths, all this, let us see the pragmatic cooperation in international mining conference good intentions. "Join hands to meet challenges and promote sustain development", we expect the CHINA MINING 2012, to the future development of global mining bring more surprise.
