At the ongoing China International Import Expo (CIIE) in Shanghai, Jakob Stausholm, CEO of global mining giant Rio Tinto Group, expressed his admiration for China’s commitment to energy transition. In an interview with CGTN, Stausholm highlighted the significant strides China is making towards sustainable energy practices.
“We admire China’s energy transition,” Stausholm remarked, acknowledging the country’s efforts to shift towards cleaner energy sources. He emphasized the importance of events like the CIIE in fostering international collaboration, stating, “The secret source of business is that it’s between people.”
Stausholm underscored the value of face-to-face interactions in building strong business relationships. “I appreciate events like the CIIE, which offer chances for people to meet,” he said. Such gatherings, he noted, are essential for nurturing mutual understanding and cooperation between global enterprises and China.
Rio Tinto’s engagement with China reflects the company’s commitment to supporting the nation’s sustainable development goals. As China continues its journey towards a greener future, international partnerships play a crucial role in advancing shared objectives in energy and resource management.
