The Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in northern China is blessed with many natural resources and opportunities for investment. And for the past 70 years, it has undergone great social and economic changes.

The region is now more globally connected and has become a logistics hub for exports to Europe.

According to Bu Xiaolin, the deputy secretary of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Regional Committee of the CPC, "Inner Mongolia has always bridged the gap between the East and West when it comes to trade and cultural exchanges. The China-Mongolia-Russia Economic Corridor is an opportunity for us. We have established multidisciplinary and multilevel exchange cooperation mechanisms with Russia and Mongolia, and we have made joint efforts in building infrastructure interconnection, economic and trade cooperation, and humanities exchanges."

Li Jiheng, the secretary of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Regional Committee of the CPC said, "Green growth is at the heart of development. In order to preserve the region's ecological system, we have carried out a number of decisive and controlled projects. The green coverage has increased a great deal, reaching over 880,000 square kilometers of the total grassland area. We also hope to improve public awareness of protecting the environment."

The government says Inner Mongolia has made significant progress in boosting economic growth over the past few decades. And China will continuously make efforts toward more sustainable development in the future.
