Builders Across Time Zones—Together in the New Spring

　　　　The year 2026 marks the beginning of the 15th Five-Year Plan period (2026-2030), and a new stage of high-quality development of the Belt and Road cooperation.
From the banks of the Mekong River to the African savannahs, from the Persian Gulf coast to the Americas, spanning 24 time zones, mountains and seas cannot separate our original aspiration, while time differences cannot divide our mission.
　　　　Overseas builders of Energy China remain committed to the frontline of energy cooperation, forging bonds across mountains and seas with hard work and building win-win results through unity. Against the scale of time, we write an answer to the Silk Road cooperation of the new era.
             This spring, follow the reporter's brush and hear the voices of the builders.

Time Zones Cannot Separate Us, Mountains and Seas Unite Us
 

In the 2026 Bing-Wu Year of the Horse, spanning 24 time zones,
