Prof. DONG made a presentation focusing on the “Green Development Mode of the Belt and Road.”

During the presentation, Prof DONG said that “the Green development mode promotes construction of the B&R, Russia-Mongolia-China Economic Corridor and development of Far East and Siberia”.

The survey funded by Ministry of Sciences and Technology of China will seek scientific support for the construction of B&R, Russia-Mongolia-China Economic Corridor and Sino-Russian’s sustainable development cooperation.

The group members are from IGSNRR, CAS, Institute of Geography, Russia and Northeast Institute of Geography and Agroecology, CAS.
