Section 106 Visits

Shu Guodong roughly knew who Dong Mingtang was referring to, and Vice Premier Lu Jianbang was more interested in his own views, but he was not as mysterious as he said, and he was politically mature and clear-minded, and he had become a model of leadership.

He also knows about going to the four countries of South Asia. Cai Zhengyang has already told him that Vice Premier Jianbang's upcoming visit to the four South Asian countries will not only strengthen political, economic, cultural and military exchanges between the two sides, but also focus on cooperation between the two sides in industrial, energy, transportation, infrastructure construction and other projects, especially the implementation and promotion of a series of agreements signed by the two countries in the early stage.

For example, to promote industrial, transportation, energy, and infrastructure projects in Pakistan and Myanmar. Industrial investment in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, especially investment by Chinese enterprises in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in the construction of enterprises and infrastructure projects, are the main aspects of the Deputy Prime Minister's visit.

South Asia has always been a key area of China's diplomacy, especially Pakistan and Myanmar, which are long-term strategic allies of China, while Sri Lanka and Bangladesh have also developed increasingly close relations with China, especially in the economic field, which has made South Asia a diplomatic priority for China, and of course a strategic countermeasure against an increasingly aggressive India.

Originally a small fishing village in Pakistan's Balochistan province, the port is strategically located and important for the construction of a deep-water port, especially since it is close to the strategic Persian Gulf and is a strip of water away from Iran, another important economic partner of China.

The strategic initiative proposed by the Ministry of Energy two years ago is to establish an energy corridor connecting the Indian Ocean to Xinjiang through the Gwadar port, forming a triangular strategic support with the Xinjiang energy corridor from Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, which can greatly reduce the pressure on China's oil and energy supply from the Middle East to pass through the Strait of Malacca.

In Zhao Guodong's concept, this kind of energy channel is not only through the oil and gas pipelines, but also can be combined with the economic development needs of this line, through the construction of the Gwadar Ghoş and Caspian Sea-Urumqi railway, to achieve economic complementarity between China's western inland region and South Asia and Central Asia, and to promote the common economic development of the regions along the two sides.

At present, the oil and gas pipeline in Xinjiang in Central Asia and the Eurasian Dabei Railway Project have already started construction. However, the oil and gas pipeline and railway project in Pakistan's Xinjiang region is still in a state of active progress, and it is expected that the Pakistani agenda will set aside special time to discuss the project with senior Pakistani officials.

This time, Myanmar, the vice president of Jianbang, will also formally negotiate with the Myanmar side on some projects that have been discussed many times, including the reconstruction and expansion project of Sittwe Port, the Sittwe-Kunming railway and highway trunk line and oil and gas pipeline project, and the Sino-Myanmar joint exploitation of oil and gas resources in the coastal areas of Myanmar.

The three major projects of the Yunnan-Burma Railway, the Yunnan-Myanmar Highway, and the Yunnan-Myanmar Oil and Gas Pipeline, funded by Chinese enterprises, will not only greatly improve Myanmar's infrastructure situation, but also bring China, Myanmar's most important ally and economic partner, closer together, promote Chinese capital investment and enterprise construction in Myanmar, and help Myanmar alleviate the economic difficulties caused by Western sanctions and blockades.

The renovation and expansion of Sittwe Port will help Myanmar to acquire a port with complete facilities and huge throughput capacity. At the same time, due to the huge trade demand from China, the income of this port can also be used as a window to the outside world and another source of finance for Myanmar.

As a visit to the four South Asian countries, many of the projects are related to the energy sector, and Cai Zhengyang naturally can't get rid of it. Zhao Guodong is also included in the entourage, and he will accompany Cai Zhengyang to negotiate with senior officials from Pakistan and Myanmar, for which he has been actively preparing for the matter long before the Spring Festival.

The Air China Boeing 7 charter plane flew smoothly at high altitude, and the white clouds under the clear blue sky were like giant cotton balls, slowly moving under the wings unnoticed.

Jianbang was interviewed by a reporter from Pakistan in the cabin, and Zhao Guodong sat quietly in a corner and looked out the window.

This is the first time he has participated in a foreign visit with a delegation, and there are five people in the energy department, except for Minister Cai Zhengyang, only the director of the General Department, the director of the Department of International Cooperation, the director of the Department of Oil and Gas, and Zhao Guodong himself.

Zhao Guodong's participation in the visit was somewhat interesting. It stands to reason that he, the director of the Planning and Development Division, does not seem to have much to do with this trip, but if he wants to, he can have some connections. After all, with Pakistan and Myanmar, it is related to the future changes and adjustments in the layout of China's energy pattern, such as if it is real; Once Kunming's railway trunk line and oil and gas pipeline project is officially implemented, it will be necessary to consider the construction of a crude oil strategic reserve base and a large-scale refining and chemical enterprise in Kunming, which is somewhat related to the Planning and Development Department.

"Guodong, maybe Vice Premier Jianbang will ask you to come over and talk about it later." Cai Zhengyang joked about Zhao Guodong.

"Hey, Minister Cai, don't be sarcastic about me, the little goods in my stomach have long been gone, there's really nothing to say, you can't just let me collapse the face of our Ministry of Energy, right?" Zhao Guodong said with a smile.

"Come on, don't pretend to be garlic in front of me, others can't think of this opportunity." Cai Zhengyang said angrily.

"When it comes to international cooperation, Director Jiang should go, and Director Wu should go to talk about the construction of oil and gas pipelines, so it shouldn't be my turn." Zhao Guodong argued.

"Many. Vice Premier Jianbang is going to talk about China's energy development plan, especially the development strategy of new energy? Cai Zhengyang asked rhetorically, knowing that Lu Jianbang was very interested in the outline of the new energy development plan submitted by the Ministry of Energy.

"I didn't say that. I can only go with you. Zhao Guodong's eyes rolled.

While the two were talking, a staff member came over and said a few words in Cai Zhengyang's ear, Cai Zhengyang nodded, gave Zhao Guodong a look, and came.

Zhao Guodong could only bite the bullet and follow behind Cai Zhengyang.

"Come and sit, Zhengyang Xiao Zhao Yi"

Many people are a little in awe of Lu Jianbang's unsmiling character, but Zhao Yindong didn't realize it. Perhaps because of the lack of contact, he only felt that the work style of the vice premier of Jianbang was very rigorous, and he considered each work very carefully, and could not be negligent, and Zhao Guodong felt that many of the questions asked by the other party were very subtle details, and many people did not pay attention to them, but the vice premier of Jianbang attached great importance to it, and the details determine success or failure.

"Zhengyang, I carefully read the outline of the new energy development regulations sent by your ministry, Xiao Zhao, it was your regulations and development department, right?" Lu Jianbang's tone was very calm.

"Well, we have come up with some input from the New and Renewable Energy Division." Zhao Guodong nodded, he was still a little nervous in front of a vice premier of the State Council on such a formal occasion.

"Well, I looked at it, and it was more comprehensive, covering everything from solar and wind to nuclear, biogas, ethanol and biodiesel. But I'd like to hear from both of you. Where should we focus on new energy, and why? First of all, today is just a private exchange, informal. It's okay to talk about it openly. Lu Jianbang showed a rare smile on his face, "Zhengyang, do you say it first or Xiao Zhao first?" There is no need to carry any mental baggage. ”

Cai Zhengyang smiled, "Let Guodong speak first." I add if needed. ”

"Good little Zhao Xianshi" Lu Jianbang set his eyes on Zhao Guodong with great interest.

"Okay, Vice Premier, Minister Cai, let me tell you my personal opinion, which is not written in the planning outline." Zhao Guodong took a breath and calmed down his emotions, "I think solar energy and wind energy should be the leading direction for the state to vigorously encourage and support state-owned and private enterprises, especially private capital, in the coming period, and seize the opportunity of new energy development to promote my country to take the lead in these two industries." On the one hand, it is necessary to improve the independence and high quality of China's nuclear energy technology, and at the same time actively obtain uranium ore resources, so that China's nuclear energy utilization can ensure long-term and effective supply guarantee, and on the other hand, it should also consider the conditional development of civil nuclear energy cooperation with foreign countries within the scope of the international treaty framework. ”

Lu Jianbang noticed Zhao Guodong's last sentence. Within the scope of the international treaty framework, considering the conditional development of foreign civil nuclear energy cooperation, this sentence seems to have a very meaningful flavor. There is considerable international concern about any action on nuclear non-proliferation, especially from Western countries led by the United States. In this regard, some normally normal business activities will also arouse the nervousness and noise of Americans. China has always been cautious in this regard, but Zhao Guodong specifically mentioned this, which is very intriguing.

Lu Jianbang knew that Zhao Guodong's wife was a member of the red family with a certain influence in the past, but his wife's branch seemed to have departed from the mainstream political track and was active in the diplomatic circles and became a professional diplomat, while Zhao Guodong's wife graduated from the Wilson School of International Relations and Politics and has a dual identity in the military and the diplomatic department.
