STOCKHOLM - China and Sweden established a green technology cooperation platform on Tuesday in Stockholm, aiming for closer mutual cooperation in the green technology industries.

The Sino-Swedish Green-Coop Platform was signed by Chen Yuming, Chinese ambassador to Sweden and Thomas Lagerqvist, chairman of the Sweden-China Trade Council, on Tuesday at the World Trade Centre in Stockholm.

The establishment of the platform "shows our commitment to work together, to share knowledge and innovation for our small and medium-sized enterprises," Oscar Stenstrom, the state secretary for the Swedish ministry of enterprises, told Xinhua.

Stenstrom said it also showed "big commitment from the Swedish government."

"I appreciate our cooperation is growing in almost all areas when it comes to people-to-people contact and business-to-business education and research," said Stenstrom.

Chen said the aim is "to promote comprehensive and multi-level dialogues and cooperation in the fields of green and low-carbon industries."

China, while enjoying fast business development, is facing many environmental challenges in light of its commitment to green and low-carbon economies, so as to achieve economic, social and environment sustainability.
