　　In 1954, Chinese nuclear science and technology workers discovered the first piece of uranium ore in Guangxi, and the nuclear industry set sail.

Nuclear energy has become an important solution for China to address climate change and achieve the "dual carbon" goal.

Linked by mountains and rivers, China and ASEAN are closely related by blood and are good neighbors, good partners and good friends.

China has always respected the rights of ASEAN countries to peacefully use nuclear technology, and has supported the development of the peaceful use of nuclear technology in all countries with practical actions.

At the multilateral level, the "Chinese Government Atomic Energy Scholarship" project jointly established by the China Atomic Energy Agency and the Ministry of Education It has trained more than 150 nuclear master and doctoral candidates for more than 20 developing countries including ASEAN countries. Through training seminars, scientific visits and exchanges, nearly 1,000 nuclear energy and nuclear technology talents have been trained for ASEAN.

　　It should be said that in terms of science and technology, we have established a joint research laboratory for high-temperature gas-cooled reactors with Indonesia, which has played a role in promoting the cooperation between our nuclear energy technology and ASEAN. In addition, in terms of industry, these electronic products produced in China Accelerators, cobalt-60 irradiation stations (equipment), including some of our nuclear detection equipment, are exported to ASEAN countries in complete sets, which also play an important role in helping the social and economic development of these ASEAN countries.

The third aspect is talent training. We have a China Atomic Energy Agency scholarship, and we also give full play to the role of the scholarship to support more than 150 graduate students from more than 20 countries including ASEAN to come to China to receive nuclear science and technology training and training. educate.

　　[Explanation] Deng Ge said that in the next step, the National Atomic Energy Agency will build a pragmatic and effective cooperation mechanism with ASEAN countries, jointly promote cooperation projects with distinctive characteristics, jointly cultivate cooperative talents who know each other, and jointly create a harmonious and friendly cooperation environment. Publicize China's experience in "nuclear technology for a better life" to ASEAN countries, strengthen exchanges and cooperation with Guangxi and ASEAN countries in nuclear knowledge popularization and nuclear public communication, and create a good ecosystem for nuclear technology cooperation and nuclear industry development.
