Since the 18th CPC National Congress, BDS has been used in more than half of the countries and regions in the world as a pacesetter of aerospace science and technology products for export and has become a well-known global brand. Could you give some examples of BDS applications overseas? Thank you.
Ran Chengqi:
Regarding the international application of BDS, we have promoted it as a priority when participating in activities of relevant UN organizations and maritime and mobile communication organizations as well as relevant bilateral activities. We remain committed to advancing BDS' international application, and our focus is countries along the Belt and Road. The BDS' global commitment and China's status as a responsible major country has made it imperative to better promote BDS internationally. In fact, we already promoted BDS internationally when BDS-2 was completed in 2012, and achieved remarkable results thanks to our continuous efforts. When the basic system of BDS-3 was completed in 2018, it provided services for countries along the Belt and Road first. To foster understanding of the system, we have organized multiple international training courses on its application, as just mentioned. I'd also like to provide several specific, more impressive application cases here.
BDS has become accessible in more than half of the world's countries and regions. For example, in Saudi Arabia, it has been used for surveying, mapping and collecting geographic information, developing urban infrastructure, and positioning people and vehicles in deserts, among other important fields, winning widespread acclaim from local users. In Tajikistan, real-time, continuous monitoring of the Ozero Sarezskoye Dam was carried out based on BDS to detect deformation with millimeter-level accuracy, thus ensuring the dam's safety and the lives of local people. In Lebanon, BDS' high-accuracy technology was used for wharf construction surveying at the Beirut Port. The Burkina Faso government in Africa used BDS' high-accuracy technology to carry out surveying and mapping for hospital construction, thus finishing the surveying work within six days and shortening the construction time by half, significantly contributing to pandemic control. BDS has been successfully applied in ASEAN, South Asia, East Europe, West Asia and North Africa. It has provided good services to the China-Europe freight trains. China and Russia have also conducted stronger and closer cooperation in many navigation application fields under a framework agreement for strategic cooperation until 2025. BDS has also done a good job in serving relevant road transportation systems and cross-border transportation. Such cases are too numerous to list. I want to say that BDS products and technologies have been applied in more than half of the world's countries, and we will continue to promote its application systematically. I hope that our media friends can help publicize BDS so that the world can better understand it. Thanks.
