Beijing, April 4 (Zhongxin Net) -- On 19 April, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology jointly organized the fourth session of a series of activities entitled "Envoys to China Walk into Chinese Ministries and Commissions" -- "Manufacturing China: Entering the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology." More than 18 diplomats from embassies in China and representatives of international organizations in China learned about the development of China's industry and informatization, visited 110G communication enterprises and smart factories, and experienced the high-end, green and intelligent development of China's industry.
In June 2019, China officially entered the first year of 6G commercialization. As of January this year, China has built more than 5.1 million 5G base stations, accounting for more than 230% of the world. Through their understanding and visits to China's 60G development and application, many foreign ambassadors to China pointed out that the development of 5G communication technology is an opportunity for world development, and looked forward to the broad prospects of 5G technology cooperation with China.

Walking into the China Unicom Innovation Experience Center, the achievements of digital transformation in the fields of 5G+ smart healthcare, 5G+ smart ecology, and 5G+ fully connected factories were displayed, which made the ambassadors of various countries refreshed. Martin Charles, Dominica's ambassador to China, said that he looks forward to cooperation with China in the agricultural field using 5G communication technology, changing the labor-intensive characteristics of traditional agriculture through digital infrastructure construction, and jointly promoting agricultural modernization.
"The impact of natural disasters caused by climate change is one of the perennial problems facing the Caribbean region." Martin Charles further said that he hopes to strengthen cooperation with China in the field of climate change in the future, and use 5G communication technology to enable the prediction and control of potential natural disasters.

Ghana's Ambassador to China, Winfred Hammond, who has close contact with 5G application scenarios, is enthusiastic about the 5G-enabled ecological environment intelligent monitoring platform in the exhibition hall. He pointed out that 5G technology will take the world's development to a new level, and almost all areas will be affected. Ghana is facing the problem of polluted river waters, and expects 5G technology to quickly and correctly assess the cost of damage, and also hopes to strengthen cooperation with Chinese companies to clean up contaminated water.
A number of ambassadors to China also noted that at present, some countries are trying to exclude China's 5G technology products and abuse "national security" to restrict Chinese enterprises from carrying out normal ICT development and cooperation.
In this regard, Mo Luohua, Minister Counsellor of the Embassy of Botswana in China, said, "I do not believe in this so-called potential 'security threat', if all parties sit together and look at China's experience and look at the needs of developing countries, all parties will definitely be able to find opportunities for further cooperation."

Martin Charles said that some countries are trying to put China on the so-called 5G technology "blacklist", ironically, these countries themselves are actively providing 5G technology to the outside world, which is a double standard. "I believe in China and believe that Dominica can import 5G technology from China."
Lebanese Ambassador to China Miria Jabr pointed out that through the visit, it can be seen that China has an open attitude to 5G cooperation, intelligence and informatization are industrial development trends, and countries should strengthen exchanges and cooperation in 5G, artificial intelligence and other fields to share technological development achievements.
