    Description
    Description

    To organize 10 seminars or training courses on water-related technologies for developing countries and SDG6-related topics will be included in the training programs mentioned above; To share with other developing countries China’s water management concepts, technical standards, solutions, equipment, water culture, etc. in an effort to cultivate technical and managerial personnel for participating countries, thus enhancing their own water governance ability;
    To provide a platform to promote international exchange and cooperation, serving to build a community with a shared future for mankind with water as an important carrier.
    The seminars and training courses will be carried out both online and offline. The online ones will include technical presentations, panel discussion, online visit and cultural experience. For the offline ones, representatives from various developing countries will be invited to China to enjoy technical presentations and visits to typical water projects in China and have panel discussions on water-related topics.
    A platform for information exchange and regular contact will be established following the training programs, and exchange column will be set up on HRC’s website to facilitate post-training exchange. Besides, bilateral and multilateral cooperation and training information will be shared with participants on a regular basis, and return visits will be paid to participants. In a nutshell, all activities mentioned above will provide an effective channel and platform for follow-up water-related international exchange and cooperation.
