Foreign journalists covering the third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation in Beijing have demonstrated their keen interest in discussions surrounding sustainable development and spoken highly of the event's role in promoting communication across the globe.
"I am most interested in topics to do with green energy, green development and every effort that is being made to ensure that we have clean technologies that can be transferred to countries in real need of them for development," said Walter Nyamukondiwa, a journalist from Zimbabwe's largest newspaper The Herald.
Nyamukondiwa said that as climate change has loomed as a major challenge for development, it is important for nations, corporations and organizations to pay special attention to the environment while pursuing and sustaining their development.
He added that Felix Mhona, Zimbabwe's minister of transport and infrastructure development, will attend the event in Beijing. Nyamukondiwa said that he is looking forward to learning from Mhona about what projects under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative are already in the pipeline in his country and prospects for future cooperation.
The forum, which is being held on Tuesday and Wednesday, will comprise three high-level meetings on connectivity, green development and digital economy. Six themed sub-forums covering topics such as maritime cooperation, people-to-people connectivity and trade connectivity will also be held.
Maria Sanhueza, a Chilean correspondent for media outlet The Citizen, said that one of the most important and urgent tasks confronting the world is speeding up the transition to a green economy.
"We know that we are at a very dangerous situation, with the warming climate increasing the risk every day. So this is one of the dimensions that interests me the most during the forum," she said.
While Chilean President Gabriel Boric is in Beijing for the event, Sanhueza said she plans to report on what Chile will agree on in terms of cooperation in renewable technologies as part of the BRI.
Sanhueza added that the forum has also come at a time when conflict-induced confrontations in other parts of the world have intensified.
However, "We have this initiative, which is actually going in the direction of cooperation and bringing countries to sit at a table to talk about common challenges and common goals", she said.
Saud Faisal Malik, editor-in-chief of the Observer Diplomat Magazine in Pakistan, said he would focus on future agreements of the initiative, especially possible new memorandums of understanding in the business sector.
Malik said he was impressed by a wide variety of facilities at the media center located in the National Convention Center. "The media center is well equipped with all facilities for media friends. It has different Chinese activities such as traditional medicine and wooden block technique," he said.
Nearly 4,000 reporters from China and abroad have registered to cover the event, including more than 1,200 from overseas, according to event organizers.
Kwizela Basebya, a reporter from Tanzania, said: "One of the biggest things which I've seen at this media center for the forum is technology. I have seen a lot of massive new technologies popping in, such as artificial intelligence.
"The environment and setup of the media center are beautiful, awesome and modern. I think it's a good place for journalists to work and cover the forum," he added.

An art exhibition titled "Forest for Life" was jointly launched by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the China Green Foundation on Tuesday at the Overseas Cultural Exchanges Center in Beijing.
The 'Forest for Life' campaign, jointly run by the UN-REDD Programme and the United Nations Decade for Ecosystem Restoration, aims to protect and restore forests by raising public awareness of how individual choices could affect crucial ecosystems.
As part of the campaign, the exhibit provides an immersive experience through art installations by talented Chinese artist Yuan Long. Inspired by the Chinese adage, "Within wood, there are people; within forests, there are origins; and within groves, there are crowds," the exhibition's theme, "Woods, Groves, and Forests, People in Crowds," prompts reflection on the intricate human-environment connection.
Mario Boccucci, Head of the UN-REDD Secretariat, expresses his enthusiasm for the exhibit, stating, The 'Forest for Life' exhibit serves as a powerful means for increasing awareness, inspiring efforts to conserve and restore these critical ecosystems, ensuring a sustainable future for all.
Natalia Alekseeva, the Coordinator of the United Nations Decade on Ecosystem Restoration, shared her insights with China Daily following the event. Fromher perspective, the art exhibition aims to capture people's attention towardforest protection through emotions rather than intellect. Through art, individuals can come to recognize the inherent value of trees in their daily existence.
Regarding the promotion of a more eco-friendly lifestyle, she emphasized the importance of reducing resource consumption to minimize deforestation. For instance, as consumers, we can take steps such as discontinuing the use of disposable paper cups and opting for more recyclable products.
"The 'Forest for Life' campaign is a clarion call to action for all generations to protect and restore forests, and a reminder that together, we have the power to mend our planet", said Natalia.
The exhibition will run till Sept 25 at Beijing Overseas Cultural Exchanges Center.
