China is promoting further international cooperation with mine incident rescue work.

This news comes from a conference about mine incident rescues, held in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region Friday.

In recent years, China has expanded technical exchange and cooperation with the United States on mine incident rescue work.

In addition, China sent many mine rescuers to Poland and Australia to study their advanced experience.

The two-day, 5th International Mine Rescue Contest will be held in China in mid-September, with preparations well underway.
