The 2024 China-Arab States Expo in Yinchuan marked a milestone in cross-regional cooperation as experts from China and Arab nations converged to address standardization and intellectual property rights (IPR) challenges. Held in northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, the event spotlighted renewable energy development as a cornerstone of future collaboration.
Building Frameworks for Sustainable Growth
Guo Chenguang of China's State Administration for Market Regulation emphasized creating structured standardization systems across energy, digital economy, and agriculture sectors. 'Standardization is the bedrock of trust in international partnerships,' he noted during panel discussions attended by policymakers and industry leaders.
Powering the Green Transition
With solar and wind energy projects proliferating across Arab nations, the expo unveiled multilingual clean energy standards to streamline technical cooperation. Li Zhiping from the China National Institute of Standardization revealed plans for joint research initiatives: 'Our comparative analysis of China-Arab clean energy benchmarks will accelerate technology transfer and grid modernization.'
Tangible Outcomes for Global Markets
Key deliverables included the 2024 Ningxia Technical Trade Measures Report, providing data-driven insights for export strategy optimization. The newly released cross-border IPR guidelines aim to reduce trade barriers, particularly for SMEs entering Middle Eastern markets.
