Noting that the world will benefit from the peaceful utilization of nuclear energy between China and the UAE, Yu said that the CNNC has built comprehensive and reliable industrial and supply chains of the nuclear industry, gained world-leading experience in the building and operation of nuclear power plants, and successfully achieved a number of advanced technologies such as Hualong One, a domestically designed third-generation nuclear reactor, and high-temperature gas-cooled reactor over the past years.

These achievements have provided the high-quality development of China's nuclear energy with systematic support and laid a solid foundation for bilateral cooperation, Yu said and added that there is a bright future for the cooperation between the CNNC and the ENEC in the years ahead against the backdrop of a sound momentum of development of the China-UAE relations. He called on the two enterprises to further strengthen their cooperation on the development and utilization of nuclear energy and nuclear materials, make new contributions to the high-quality development of the China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the building of a China-UAE community with a shared future.

Hammadi said that it is a milestone event for China and the UAE to sign the cooperation document on the peaceful use of nuclear energy, creating an institutional guarantee for enterprises of the two countries to conduct relevant collaboration.
