The APCWS was established by Tsinghua University in April 2010 in collaboration with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and with support from the Ministry of Finance of China. The Center promotes research on water security in the context of water resources evaluation, water security strategy and climate change. Its main goal is to closely monitor the water security status of the countries in the Asia-Pacific region and promote experiences and lessons sharing to handle water crisis.
After hearing the introduction of the APCWS, Mr. Zheng informed the current activates and plans of GWP China. GWP China is going to carry out more research projects with more members involved in, it will also be a good opportunity to promote the cooperation with APCWS.
Based on the same key word “water security” shared by both GWP China and APCWS, there would be more cooperative opportunities through a variety of ways. The establishment of good relationship with other countries would be benefited if successful experiences in water security in China could be shared by these countries. Therefore, GWP China and APCWS planned to work together in the future.
