In Zhuzhou, Hunan state on 24 September, the 4th global Summit was inaugurated on the usage of a large-scale BeaDou satellite navigation system. The beginning ceremony was attended by Ding Xuexiang, a associate of the Standing Committee of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist organization of China and Deputy Prime Minister of the State Council. During the event, he gave a speech highlighting the increasing importance of the BeiDou strategy in the improvement of technological infrastructure in both China and the world.
Ding recalled that China's president Xi Jinping has repeatedly pointed out that the BeiDou strategy brings tangible benefits not only to Chinese citizens but besides to many countries around the world. After 31 years of improvement — and especially since the authoritative launch of the BeiDou-3 global strategy in 2020 — this technology has entered a fresh phase of global expansion. The accuracy, reliability and scope of services available have been increased, and the network itself has become a modern, strategical infrastructure with global reach.
The Chinese Deputy Prime Minister announced that in the following years the BeiDou strategy will be developed to accomplish world-class standards. Further upgrading of technology, expanding functionality and improving the quality of services provided has been announced. The aim is to build a navigation platform that will be even more advanced and competitive towards existing global systems.
Ding Xuexiang besides stressed that China is willing to cooperate with another countries on the principles of openness, integration, compatibility and common complementarity. He encouraged the sharing of achievements and experiences in the spirit of shared improvement so that the BeiDou strategy could service the global community even more effectively and contribute to the sustainable improvement of humanity.
