ICEC于2018年12月20日接待了由青岛市市南区委书记华玉松先生率领的青岛市市南区的政府代表团。

ICEC hosted a District-level government delegation from Shinan, Qingdao Province on 20th December, 2018. The group was led by Mr. Hua Yusong, Secretary, CPC Shinan District Committee.

ICEC安排了代表团与印度太阳能协会(SESI)进行会晤，了解印度太阳能工业的相关信息。印度太阳能协会成立于1978年，致力于促进印度的太阳能发展。

ICEC organized their meeting with Solar Energy Society of India (SESI) to provide them information on the solar industry in India. SESI is one of the oldest organizations (started in 1978) working towards promotion of solar use in India.

ICEC与代表团进行了深入的研究和探讨，将不断推进在各个领域的交流合作。

The deliberations and discussions were in-depth and focused. Many areas of cooperation and joint research emerged which needs to be taken forward by both sides.

首先，BCIM（孟中印缅）为四国合作提供了新的机遇和平台，双方将积极应对经济走廊项目和能源需求方面所涉及的环境问题。市南区和印度太阳能协会对于“绿色BCIM”的联合研究十分感兴趣，其他合作领域包括绿色建筑和太阳能发展。

Firstly, BCIM presents a new and unique opportunity for the four countries to collaborate and become a platform for the region. BCIM will involve environmental issues with respect to clearing up the corridor and energy requirements. “Greening the BCIM” is one area where Shinan and SESI seemed to be very interested to initiate a joint research project. Other areas related with green buildings and solar energy development can also be identified.

第二，水污染是中印两国共同面临的问题。工业地下水污染在中国是一个大问题，但目前对印度来说影响甚微。不过，未来印度可能会面临类似的问题。地下水处理技术是双方合作的另一个领域。

Secondly, water pollution and contamination is an issue shared by India and China. Industrial ground water contamination is a big issue in China but not a challenge for the regulators in India. Still, in future as the industry grows India might face similar problems. Ground Water technological cooperation is another area identified by the both sides.

印度太阳能协会鼓励市南区开展一些合作项目，例如绿色建筑、气候模型、城市基础设施等，发展潜力巨大。市南区代表团和印度太阳能协会安排了一名对接人，来帮助双方进一步推动合作与研究。

Finally, a number of joint and collaborative programs with SESI were encouraged. The potential is very much to look into green buildings, climate modelling, city infrastructure, etc. CPC Shinan & SESI appointed a nodal point person to take the communication forward for identifying areas and opportunities for collaboration and research.

在同ICEC秘书长的会谈中，市南代表团提出合作重点是文化领域，华玉松先生提议建立友好城市关系。在青岛可以宣传瑜伽文化，ICEC建议举办瑜伽节来推广瑜伽。

In their meeting with the Secretary General, ICEC, cooperation in the realm of culture was focused upon. The need for a sister-city tie up with Qingdao was expressed by Secretary Yusong.  Especially in the area of promoting yoga culture in Qingdao. ICEC proposed that organizing a Yoga festival would be a fruitful way of endorsing yoga.

此外，青岛啤酒的进口也将纳入合作探讨之中，因为印度啤酒市场的需求量很大。他们可以在印度设立分销渠道，修建啤酒厂，进一步提高其产量和销量。ICEC根据其他公司的行业和产品，为他们进入印度市场也提供了宝贵的建议。

Another import area of cooperation was of Tsingtao Brewery in India given the high demand in the Beer market of India. They were advised to create local distributorship in India and even set a brewery to further boost production and sales of their brand. Similarly, ICEC advised the other companies on how to enter Indian market based on their industry and products.
