The State Council approved a request from Tianjin Municipal People’s Government and the National Development and Reform Commission for an implementation plan to build a national demonstration zone for green development in China-Singapore Tianjin Eco-City for the 2024-2035 period, according to an official reply released on Aug 7.

The plan's implementation should give full play to the advantages of the China-Singapore cooperation platform, and deepen communication and cooperation between the two countries in green technologies, equipment, services, infrastructure and finance.

The construction of this national demonstration zone for green development should take low-carbon and high-quality development as the main task, high value-added segmented industries as the focus, and a world-class business environment as the feature, the reply said.

Efforts will be made to promote the concept of green development being integrated into the whole process of Tianjin Eco-City's economic and social development, bringing the main indicators of green development in Tianjin Eco-City to world-leading levels by 2035.

The Tianjin government should enhance organization and leadership and improve the working mechanism. Relevant departments of the State Council should carry out tasks according to their duties. The National Development and Reform Commission should take the lead in providing guidance and tracking analysis.
