In his address to the launch ceremony of the report, Cheng Siwei, vice chairman of the 9th and 10th National People's Congress (NPC) Standing Committee, said, "The report is significant, marking how cities in China have already put their focus on sustainable development during the urbanization process."
Cheng also pointed out strategy development is merely a beginning. The crucial point is that any city should ensure the implementation of all possible solutions. "I wish Yixing's sustainable development would become a role model for other cities in China and an inspiration to countries worldwide", said Cheng.
The launching ceremony of the report was jointly hosted by WBCSD, CBCSD and the Yixing government. Dozens of people, including government officials, business executives, academics and various representatives, attended the ceremony.
