This newspaper(Li Miao Liu Chuan, all-media reporter of Sichuan Daily) On June 9th, the 2023 World Power Battery Conference, co-sponsored by the Sichuan Provincial People’s Government and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, opened in Yibin. Wan Gang, Vice Chairman of 13th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and Chairman of China Association for Science and Technology, attended the opening ceremony and delivered a speech. Jardot Peter, Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Economy of Hungary, as the guest of honor, delivered a video speech, Miao Wei, member of the Standing Committee of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the Economic Commission, delivered a keynote speech, Huang Qiang, deputy secretary of the provincial party committee and governor, delivered a welcome speech, and Xin Guobin, vice minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and Chang Qide, coordinator of the United Nations system in China delivered speeches respectively.
On behalf of China Association for Science and Technology, Wan Gang congratulated the conference. He said that as an important part of the modern energy industry cluster, the power battery industry has become an important force to promote the global green and low-carbon transformation, and is entering a critical stage of industrial development under the new situation of accelerating the electrification transformation of automobiles and other vehicles in various countries. It is necessary to increase the research and development of the next generation power battery technology, scientifically judge the technical route, systematically solve technical problems such as key materials, new system batteries and system integration, and promote industrial application and demonstration operation. Promote the high-quality development of the whole industrial chain of new power batteries, accelerate the development of upstream mineral resources, realize the stable price and supply of key raw materials, build a symbiotic and win-win ecological circle of the whole industrial chain, and give full play to the role of power batteries in "cutting peaks and filling valleys" in the power grid. Accelerate the formulation of safety-related standards and regulations, continuously improve the technical requirements of thermal diffusion and thermal management, speed up the revision and formulation of relevant standards, strengthen regular maintenance of vehicles in use and improve the annual inspection system. Promote the green recycling and comprehensive utilization of retired batteries, establish a standardized and orderly market ecology, strengthen the construction of supervision and management system, actively explore innovative business models, and realize the market-oriented development of recycling. Adhere to high-level open cooperation, strengthen global coordination and internationalization, jointly explore the construction of low-carbon standards and management systems, and strengthen global cooperation in technological innovation, intelligent manufacturing and recycling of next-generation power batteries. It is hoped that experts, scholars, entrepreneurs and policy makers in the field of global power batteries will join hands to jointly ensure the green and low-carbon transformation of the global automobile industry and build a clean and beautiful world.
In his speech, West Jardot Peter thanked the General Assembly for inviting Hungary as the guest of honor. He said that Hungary and China are strategic partners. Thirteen years ago, Hungary announced the policy of "opening to the east", especially encouraging China investors to take Hungary as their investment destination. In 2020, China became the largest source of foreign investment in Hungary for the first time, and it is expected to maintain this position this year, mainly because of the investment choices made by China power battery manufacturers. Thanks to the investment of a large number of power battery enterprises such as Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited, the Hungarian power battery output has ranked fourth in the world, and the number of the latter will rise to the second place in the world after these investments are completed. Thanks to the trust of China investors in Hungary, we will continue to encourage China investors to expand their production capacity in Hungary or to settle new investment projects in Hungary.
黄强在致辞中对各位嘉宾表示欢迎和感谢，向数十年坚守、探索、奋斗在新能源汽车发展领域的技术先驱、领军企业、行业精英致以敬意。他说，去年6月8日，习近平总书记亲临宜宾视察，对生态环保、高质量发展和人才教育培养作出重要指示，要求努力提高自主创新能力、加快向制造强国转变。我们牢记嘱托，加快建设以实体经济为支撑的现代化产业体系，着力打造全球产业链最完整、综合竞争力最强的动力电池产业集群。我们将进一步发挥第一绿电大省得天独厚优势，支持建设零碳工厂，生产真正的绿电动力电池；发挥资源优势，坚定支持重点企业与资源地深化合作，有序高效清洁开发锂矿资源；抢抓成渝地区双城经济圈建设等机遇，加快构建全产业链生态圈；以“电动四川”行动为引领，支持广泛开发换电重卡、数字能源等应用场景，快速大幅提升电动化替代水平。希望全球企业家和科学家把更多产业项目投向四川、让更多创新成果在四川转化，共创共享合作发展美好未来。
Entrusted by Jin Zhuanglong, Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Xin Guobin congratulated the conference on behalf of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. He pointed out that in recent years, China has grasped the reform trend of the automobile industry, promoted the continuous expansion of the production and sales scale of the power battery industry, effectively improved the technical level, and gradually improved the industrial ecology. The global new energy automobile industry has entered a new stage of accelerated development, which puts forward higher requirements for technological innovation, quality and performance of power batteries. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology will implement the spirit of the 20th Party Congress, follow the decision-making arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, adhere to the principle of open cooperation and win-win, and work with relevant parties to jointly promote technological innovation of power batteries, jointly improve the stability and green development level of industrial chain supply chain, and make scientific and technological innovations better benefit people of all countries. The development of power battery cluster in Sichuan Province has begun to take shape, and the first World Power Battery Conference last year received a good response. I hope everyone can make full use of this platform and work together to promote the better and faster development of new energy vehicles and power battery industries.
Chang Qide said that the green new power and electric vehicle exhibition will bring great changes to the world, and advanced batteries are one of the important forces to promote change. China is the world leader in innovation and production of power batteries, and Sichuan is an important production center, in which Yibin plays a key role. The United Nations system in China will actively build a platform, gather sustainable development partners, and help the electric vehicle reform and environmental protection in China to advance simultaneously.
At about 11: 50, Wan Gang, Miao Wei, Huang Qiang, Xin Guobin and Hungarian Ambassador to China Bertie jointly launched the opening ceremony of the 2023 World Power Battery Conference.
