Beijing calls on cities to join global industrial cooperation network
China’s Ministry of Industry and Information Technology is inviting domestic cities to apply to join a new international partner-city network on industrial transformation, part of a broader initiative launched with government agencies from 19 countries. The initiative aims to promote global cooperation in areas such as digital transformation, green and low-carbon development, supply chain coordination, innovation resource sharing, SME support and talent development. The final list of the selected cities will be unveiled at a BRICS forum scheduled to be held in May.
