STORYLINE:

International guests who participated in 2023 Taiyuan Energy Low Carbon Development Forum believe that China remains an important engine for world economic growth.

SOUNDBITE 1 (English): NANA AKUA OWUSU AFRIYIEH, Ghana's Deputy Ambassador to China
"Why do you have to doubt? You don't even just say China is the economic engine. Exchanges of ideas, country to country, for win-win cooperation is the key."

SOUNDBITE 2 (English): MATIAS APREA, Assistant to the mayor of General Juan Madariaga
"China in the last 40 years has demonstrated that the only way to get that development is that the whole country goes to the same place right.
For me, China must be the engine for the world.
Because here China has a lot of industries. China has a lot of knowledge in many areas. We want to learn about China, about the process and how (they) manage all things from building highways to producing things of the low carbon emissions."

SOUNDBITE 3 (Chinese): NIK GU, Student Envoy for global communication at Tsinghua University
"We can see that in Central Asia, China has made a lot of investment in infrastructure construction, which has helped solve the employment problem of local people, and also promoted local economic development and technological development. We think China has done a great job in this respect."

SOUNDBITE 4 (English): BISHNU PUKAR SHRESTHA, Nepal's Ambassador to China
"And now in this opening up situation, China is being able to export goods. China is facing so many problems not only nationally but internationally. Even then China is being able to meet those challenges."
