A workshop for training talent in industrial green development and digitalization kicked off on Aug 28 in Xiamen, Fujian province.
The monthlong workshop, hosted by the BRICS Partnership on New Industrial Revolution Innovation Center, brings together 30 participants from 22 countries, including Ethiopia, Brazil, Russia, South Africa, Iran, Indonesia and others. They will engage in exchanges and learning activities in Xiamen, Beijing, Shenzhen and other cities.
The workshop will employ methods such as classroom teaching, exchange seminars and field visits to focus on topics including green energy and sustainable development, digital transformation and low-carbon transition.
During the program, participants will also visit leading industrial enterprises such as Huawei, JD and BYD, and will attend the 2025 BRICS Forum on the Partnership on New Industrial Revolution. These activities will provide participants with an in-depth understanding of China's dynamic practices and experiences in accelerating industrial digitalization and green transformation.
In July, during the 17th BRICS Summit held in Brazil, it was announced that China would establish the BRICS New Industry "Golden Egret" Excellence Scholarship this year to help BRICS countries cultivate talent in industry, communications and other fields.
The workshop is financed by the scholarship fund, which aims to strengthen cooperation on green industrial development in BRICS member nations.
China has decided to extend its visa waiver policy to ordinary passport holders from Canada and the United Kingdom starting from Feb 17.
Forty-one new port-of-entry duty-free shops have been established nationwide, with Xiamen Xiang'an International Airport, Xiamen Wutong Passenger Wharf, and Xiamen International Cruise Center included on the list.
