In the morning of Oct. 22, the reporter exclusively interviewed Mr. Wang Min, vice Minister of the Ministry of Land and Resources during the coffee break of the “Mining Ministers Forum”. On this forum, ministers, vice ministers and geological survey directors from 10 countries gathered here and discussed topics about the sustainable development and exploration of the global mining industry. As the host, Mr. Wang Min was very busy and his making time to accept the interview was very precious.
Mentioning the CHINA MINING 2014, Mr. Wang Min spoke in a plain tongue that the Congress actually is a big platform. All countries are developing win-win cooperation in the mining industry, promoting the healthy sustainable development and supporting the healthy sustainable development of the whole economic society. He spoke in confidence that in the current situation, the CHINA MINING is better and better in terms of scale, size and influence.
How to evaluate the status and influence of the CHINA MINING platform? Mr. Wang MIN said that since the distribution of mining resources is not balanced, it is impractical for a country to meet the demand of its own development in isolation with other countries’ resources. Besides, along with the deepening of globalization, the mining industry of all countries actually is sharing a common destiny. Therefore, it is an irresistible trend for countries to implement positive, pragmatic, balanced and mutual beneficial cooperation. In these circumstances, the platform provided by the CHINA MINING is very important and necessary.
Mr. Wang Min specifically emphasized that we should promote the harmonious unification of resource exploration, environmental protection, mining prospecting and community development. “The exploration of the mining industry is involved with environmental protection and the coordination with local people’s interests. How to deal with the relation of these three aspects?” Mr. Wang Min relied that the right attitude and methods go with what Minister Mr. Jiang Damin has said. Explore the fortune while protecting the environment. The exploration should bring benefit to the local people and strengthen the protection of the local environment.
It is an ever-lasting project which arises the common concern around the world. “We do not forbid exploration. What we are concerned about is how to explore.” Mr. Wang Min has a strong feeling about this topic. He said that innovation should play an important role to reach this. Innovation is an important engine for the sustainable development of the mining industry. In order to promote the recovery and transformation of the industry, innovation should play a leading and supporting role so that the industry can receive benefit created by technology innovation, management innovation and mechanism innovation. The leading role of the CHINA MINING is not only the commerce but also the management, the policy and the ideas. “If all of us reach a consensus on this, we will be coordinated in recognition and actions.”
Mr. Wang Min said that on this platform, every country expressed their good wishes to attract investment from other countries. From this we learned the great potentials and prospects of the international mining cooperation as well as our resolution and wishes to expand exchanges and cooperation.
“This is exactly what we want to see.”Mr. Wang Min said to the reporter.(reported by Chen Guodong, Li Xiang) (translated by TLRHVC)
