Energy cooperation platform within SCO launched

China launched an energy cooperation platform within Shanghai Cooperation Organization member states in Beijing on Tuesday, signaling a major push to deepen collaboration on energy and drive green transition across the region.

The diverse resources, markets, and technologies within SCO countries, particularly the abundance of renewable energy resources, create significant opportunities and a promising outlook for collaboration in the renewable energy sector, said Wang Hongzhi, head of the National Energy Administration.

"Energy cooperation is a vital component of practical regional collaboration," he said.
