China and Europe after a sustained, pragmatic, and in-depth cooperation on water governance, have both made significant contributions to cope with the world’s escalating water security challenges, an official with the Ministry of Water Resources said.
In an exclusive interview with China Daily, Xu Jing, deputy director general of the ministry’s Department of International Cooperation, Science, and Technology, depicted a long history of close and friendly cooperation in water resources management between China and European countries.
“Since the launch of the China-EU River Basin Management Program in 2007, China and Europe have carried out in-depth research and extensive exchanges in river basin management, flood prevention and mitigation, groundwater management and measures responding to climate change.
“Aside from implementing extensive personnel exchanges and visits, they have also translated and published a series of policy documents and technical manuals,” she said.
