He emphasized the inseparable relationship between technological progress and natural ecology, saying that the former is also a part of nature.

The Beijing People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries and the Mentougou district government co-hosted the event.

Zhang Qian, executive vice president of the association, introduced Mentougou to the visiting diplomats using three words: "momentum, toughness, and glamour."

She mentioned that in July last year, Mentougou experienced an unprecedented flood, with the entire district of 400,000 people uniting with fearless courage to search for missing villagers and repair infrastructure.

As various reconstruction efforts progress, the area's production and living order have largely returned to pre-disaster levels.

"This persistent spirit is Mentougou's resounding calling card and will be the most convincing reason for everyone to choose Mentougou as a partner for cooperation."
