The dialogue is a highlight part of the Eco Forum Global held in Guiyang city, Guizhou's capital, June 26-28.

More than 100 experts and scholars and 200 government officials and enterprise representatives came to the event, to share their knowledge and practices in developing economy in mountainous areas while maintaining sustainable development.

Switzerland has a reputation as one of the greenest countries in the world with a circular, low-carbon economy. Although it is far from Guizhou, it has a connection with the mountainous province with similarities in geology, nature and environment.

The Eco Forum and Sino-Swiss dialogues have become a means of communication, not just between Guizhou and the Swiss but between China's interior and developed countries in Europe.
