China's production capacity and technology for new energy vehicles already lead the world, while Argentina possesses abundant lithium resources. The prospects for Sino-Argentine cooperation in the new energy vehicle industry are very broad," said Velázquez. He added that Chinese companies in the new energy vehicle sector, such as BYD, have already entered his country's market, and that Argentines can also benefit from the rapid development of China's new energy vehicle industry. In turn, Jiujiang's achievements in environmental protection left a deep impression on the delegation. After visiting the Jiujiang section of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park, Athos Rasilla, director of the foundation's Institute for Transnational Affairs, praised Jiujiang's beautiful environment, calling it "extraordinary." In recent years, Jiujiang has fully implemented the Yangtze River protection strategy, closing and relocating several riverside chemical companies, restoring vegetation along the banks, and revitalizing the ecological coastline. "Economic development must be given the same importance as environmental protection, and Jiujiang has done an excellent job in this regard," stated Rasilla. On the map, Jiujiang is the only city in Jiangxi with direct access to the Yangtze River and the sea, with 152 kilometers of coastline along the Yangtze and numerous ports and docks, making its river transport highly developed. Meanwhile, La Plata, located on the southern bank of the La Plata River estuary in the east of Buenos Aires Province, also has a port, making it suitable for the development of river transport. In addition, both cities have similar industrial structures, mainly based on petrochemicals and shipbuilding. Visit The Chinese city of Jiujiang in Jiangxi Province received a delegation from the Pro Humanae Vitae Foundation (FPHV), led by its president Rafael Velázquez, aimed at strengthening ties of cooperation with La Plata, its sister city since 2008. At Jiangxi New Jiangzhou Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Co., Ltd., located on the banks of the Yangtze River, Zhu Zhihui, director of the company's Market Operations Department, explained that the shipyard focuses on the small and medium-sized vessel market, specializing in the construction of liquid cargo vessels, heavy multi-purpose cargo vessels, and new energy vessels. They have already signed orders for 28 vessels with shipowners from Germany, Denmark, and South Korea. Upon learning that New Jiangzhou could build 15 ships per year, Velázquez said in surprise: "The efficiency in shipbuilding and advanced technology here is truly amazing." "We hope to use sister city ties as a bond to promote pragmatic cooperation between the two cities in more areas, for the benefit of the people of both places," expressed Zhan Yong, chairman of the Jiujiang Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference. "I never imagined there would be a photo of mine from 16 years ago here," expressed Rafael Velázquez, president of the Pro Humanae Vitae Foundation (FPHV). He was referring to a photo on display at the Jiujiang City Territorial and Spatial Planning Museum in China's Jiangxi Province. In 2008, the Argentine city of La Plata and the Chinese city of Jiujiang officially established a sisterhood. The following year, a delegation from Jiujiang visited La Plata, and Velázquez, as a member of the host delegation, took a group photo with them. The return visit took place from November 4 to 6, when an FPHV delegation went to Jiujiang. Its members toured exhibition halls, factories, and parks and discussed prospects for cooperation in culture, trade, and other areas. Similarities La Plata and Jiujiang share many similarities. I hope that in the future there will be opportunities for exchange and cooperation between the two parties in shipbuilding and other sectors." He added that Argentina, with an Atlantic coast to the east, cannot rely solely on fishing to develop its maritime economy. In the shipbuilding industry, the two countries can share technology, learn from each other's business models, and achieve joint development. Cooperation Beyond traditional heavy industry, the prospects for cooperation in the new energy sector also excited the Argentine visitors. During his visit to Jiujiang, Velázquez learned that the local company Jiujiang Tinci Materials Technology is one of the world's largest producers of lithium battery electrolytes.
