International leaders convened at the 2025 World Green Development Investment and Trade Expo in Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, to underscore the critical importance of deeper global cooperation in accelerating the green transition and bolstering climate resilience. The four-day event, which also hosted the China Green Food Expo, attracted senior officials, ambassadors, business leaders, and experts to explore new opportunities in green industries and the emerging green-food economy. Zambia’s Vice-President Mutale Nalumango praised China’s significant role in global climate governance, noting the visible results of China’s green transition, which have led to a more livable ecological environment and tangible benefits for ordinary citizens. Nalumango expressed Africa’s readiness to deepen cooperation with China and other partners to expand green investment and low-carbon development. Allex Seah Shoo Chin, a member of the Malacca State Executive Council of Malaysia, highlighted the historical ties between China and Malaysia, emphasizing the strengthening cooperation in green development and technological innovation. He drew parallels to the voyages of Zheng He, which enhanced trade and cultural exchanges between China, Malaysia, and Southeast Asia during the Ming Dynasty. The expo, running until Sunday, serves as a platform for fostering international collaboration in sustainable development and climate resilience.
