On July 6, 2016, CCICED Secretariat leaders met with Mr. Ayumi Konishi, Director General of the Asian Development Bank’s East Asia Department to discuss further cooperation.

ADB has been working closely with the CCICED since Phase II, and has made important contributions to China’s environment and development. Both sides agreed to deepen their cooperation. ADB will continue to serve as an important Council partner, and will actively take part in Phase VI by providing resources and expertise.
