Huang Runqiu introduced China's policies, actions, and progress in addressing climate change, elaborated on its stance on participating in multilateral processes such as climate change, biodiversity, and plastic pollution, and put forward specific suggestions for further deepening the bilateral climate policy dialogue and practical cooperation between China and Singapore in areas such as carbon emissions trading, green finance, and nature based solutions.

Watts shared the latest climate strategy, work priorities, and action progress of the New Zealand government, appreciated the effectiveness of China's climate action and leadership in multilateral processes, and expressed willingness to strengthen policy exchanges and practical cooperation with China in areas such as carbon markets, renewable energy, electric vehicles, green finance, and nature based solutions. New Zealand welcomes the further development of China's new energy industry, injecting new impetus into the global low-carbon transformation, and also welcomes Chinese enterprises to invest and cooperate in new areas. Both sides agree that we should implement the consensus reached by the leaders of China and Singapore, work together with the international community to address the challenges of climate change, and inject confidence and momentum into the multilateral climate process. Both sides will strengthen policy dialogue and communication coordination, explore updating bilateral climate cooperation documents, and share opportunities for green and low-carbon transformation and development brought about by climate change.
