A milestone in @UN’s extensive relationship with China today with the inauguration of the @UNHABITAT China Office!
“China's urban development journey holds important practices and lessons for the international community, especially for the Global South. Its approaches offer valuable insights for countries and cities. It also shows huge potential opportunities for an urbanizing world — to exchange knowledge, adapt solutions to local needs, and turn shared learning into tangible action for improving people's living conditions in cities,” UN-Habitat’s Executive Director @AnacludiaRossb1 said at the inauguration ceremony in Beijing.
“With the engagement of other partners at a new level, our mission is for the China office to develop a global hub for urban transformation, sustainable development, and international cooperation,” she added.
The event was attended by China’s Minister of Housing and Urban-Rural Development, Ni Hong; the President of the UN-Habitat Assembly, Malaysia’s Minister of Housing and Local Government, Nga Kor Ming; and senior Chinese government officials, as well as representatives of @UNinChina.
