Guided by the high-quality development of the Belt and Road Initiative and leveraging Yunnan’s geographical advantage as a hub connecting South and Southeast Asia, CGN Energy International continues to deepen international energy cooperation and steadily expand its global green energy footprint. On June 11, the 10^th China-South Asia Expo opened in Kunming, Yunnan Province, under the theme “Unity and Cooperation for Shared Development,” bringing together 68 countries, regions, and international organizations for exchanges and exhibitions. CGN Energy International’s President Ouyang Zi and Assistant President Wang Tun attended the opening ceremony and related events.

This year’s Expo, covering the markets of RCEP member states, reached new heights in scale and international participation. A joint booth by CGN Energy International and CGN New Energy made a strong impression, themed “The Yunnan Way of Life – A Partnership of Green Power + Yunnan Quality Products, Zero Carbon, Rural Support, and Global Outreach.” The integrated exhibition zone combined product display, technology demonstration, and immersive experiences, showcasing CGN’s global clean energy portfolio, cross-border cooperation, flagship overseas projects, intelligent O&M technologies, and multiple international accolades – highlighting its solid achievements in Belt and Road energy connectivity.

During the Expo, government and business delegations from France, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Laos, Senegal, Mauritania, and other countries, as well as leading municipal and provincial officials from Yunnan, visited the booth for in-depth discussions on cooperation opportunities. The booth also featured a rural-support sales area and intangible cultural heritage experience zones, displaying hand-woven crafts from Laos’ “CGN Shimmer Plan,” Lao tea, Malaysian coffee, and other specialty products – linking green energy with community development and demonstrating the company’s social responsibility overseas.
