　　“创新驱动，促进矿业高质量发展”，这是主办方为2023（第二十五届）中国国际矿业大会确定的主题。以矿为媒，让我们再一次相约天津。

　　当前，全球经济复苏进程仍然缓慢且不均衡，各国分化趋势日益扩大。中国经济运行面临新的困难挑战：国内需求不足，一些企业经营困难，重点领域风险隐患较多，外部环境复杂严峻。但是我国经济具有巨大的发展韧性和潜力，长期向好的基本面没有改变。国际货币基金组织(IMF)近日发布最新一期《世界经济展望报告》，预计全球经济增速将从2022年的3.5%放缓至2023年的3.0%和2024年的2.9%，增速均低于3.8%的历史(2000年至2019年)平均水平。其中，预计中国今明两年经济增速将分别为5%和4.2%。

　　当今世界是一荣俱荣、一损俱损的命运共同体，构建人类命运共同体是世界各国人民前途所在。世界上几乎没有哪个国家可以完全靠本国的矿产资源满足自身需求，在全球范围内科学配置所需资源，是世界各国通用的做法。未来，全球矿业市场发展具有一定的不平衡和不确定性，经济下行预期叠加能源和粮食危机，地缘政治博弈加剧，矿产资源产业链供应链“圈子化”“同盟化”导致逆全球化和快速收缩风险上升，构建矿业命运共同体、实现合作共赢是当务之急。

　　《孟子》曰：独乐乐不如众乐乐。面对当前全球经济复苏缓慢之势，中国开出的药方是扩大开放、合作共赢。国务院新闻办公室10月10日发布的《共建“一带一路”：构建人类命运共同体的重大实践》白皮书显示，截至2023年6月底，中国已同40多个国家签署了产能合作文件，中国国际矿业大会、中国-东盟矿业合作论坛等成为共建“一带一路”国家开展矿业产能合作的重要平台。

　　中国国际矿业大会由中华人民共和国自然资源部指导、中国矿业联合会主办，始于1999年，为全球规模最大、最具影响力的矿业展会之一。大会涵盖了地质调查、勘探开采、冶炼与加工、技术与设备、矿权交易、贸易投资、支持服务等矿业全产业链。24年来，中国国际矿业大会见证了全球矿业的风云变幻、波澜起伏，已经成为观察全球矿业发展的重要晴雨表和风向标。

　　矿业除了具有为各国经济社会发展提供能源资源保障的职能，自身高质量发展也越来越受到各国重视。今年的大会注重推动中国企业与国际矿业界的交流合作，特别设置了企业家对话节目，旨在让与会者分享中国企业与国外企业合作的成果和经验。大会将搭好“讲好中国故事的讲台”，让世界了解一个真实、可信、负责任的中国，看到中国矿业推进高质量发展取得的巨大成就和美好前景。

　　如今，中国绿色勘查开发已经成为在产矿山的必选项和新建矿山的准入门槛。绿色勘查、绿色矿山建设从倡议探索、到试点示范、再到上下联动推进，成为推动矿业领域生态文明建设的重要平台和生动实践。

　　如今，中国矿山生态修复虽面临历史欠账多、治理投入不足等难题，但仍在持续推进并取得阶段性成果。在《全国重要生态系统保护和修复重大工程总体规划（2021-2035 年）》的6 个专项规划中布局了矿山生态修复重点工程。持续探索构建市场化机制，在生物多样性保护公约COP15大会上发布矿山生态修复典型案例。

　　如今，中国矿山智能化建设呈加速发展、全面发展态势，矿业新业态不断涌现。目前，我国建有煤矿智能化工作面1400个，有智能化工作面的煤矿达到730处，产能占比达到59.5%。

　　如今，中国矿业对外开放政策不断加码。在近几年发布的年度《外商投资准入特别管理措施(负面清单)》中，矿业外资准入政策持续放宽。《外商投资准入特别管理措施(负面清单)(2019年版)》提出，取消石油天然气勘探开发限于合资、合作的限制，取消禁止外商投资钼、锡、锑、萤石勘查开采的规定。

　　如今，中国矿业对外合作规模不断扩大、领域不断拓宽。中国采矿业对外投资规模保持稳定。2022年末，采矿业对外直接投资2101.3亿美元，主要分布在石油和天然气开采、有色金属矿采选、黑色金属矿采选、煤炭开采和洗选等领域，为存量规模上千亿美元的六大行业之一。

　　如今，中国矿业企业走出国门开展矿业合作更加理性和负责。中国矿业企业“走出去”更加绿色、公开、透明，注意在全球树立中国形象，注重全球化与本土化相结合进行管理经营。

　　…………

　　当前，世界之变、时代之变、历史之变正以前所未有的方式展开，实现普遍安全、促进共同发展依然任重道远。站在新的起点上，全球矿业面临重要机遇，也面临日趋复杂的国际环境。坚定不移推进矿业高质量发展，努力建设绿色矿业、安全矿业、和谐矿业、智能矿业、高效矿业，我们一定能够为实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦、推动构建矿业命运共同体作出新的更大贡献。

　　The theme of the 2023 (25th) China Mining Conference and Exhibition is “Innovation Promotes High-Quality Development of Mining”. With Mining as the medium, let’s meet in Tianjin again.

　　At present, the global economic recovery is still slow and uneven, and the trend towards polarization of the world is growing. China's economy is facing new difficulties and challenges: insufficient domestic demand, difficulties in some enterprises operation, hidden risks in key areas, and complex and severe external environment. However, China's economy has great development resilience and potential, and the long-term good fundamentals have not been changed. The latest World Economic Outlook Report released by The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that global economic growth will decrease from 3.5% in 2022 to 3.0% in 2023 and 2.9% in 2024, both of which are below the historical (2000-2019) average growth of 3.8%. China's economic growth is expected to be 5% for this year and 4.2% for next year, respectively.

　　Today's world rises or falls together, therefore, building a community with a shared future for mankind is the future of whole world. There is no country in the world which can be self-sufficiency in mineral resources. It is a common practice for countries around the world to allocate required resources scientifically. In the future, the development of the global mining market will have some imbalances and uncertainties. The expected economic downturn, the energy and food crisis, the intensified geopolitical contest and the bounded and allied mineral resources industry chain and supply chain will lead to the rise of the risk of anti-globalization and rapid contraction. Consequently, it is imperative to build a community of shared future in the mining industry and achieve win-win cooperation.

　　Mencius said: Joy shared with others are more enjoyed. In the face of the current slow global economic recovery, China's solutions are expanding opening up and win-win cooperation. According to the white paper "Building the Belt and Road: Major Practices in Building a Community with a Shared Future for Mankind" released by the State Council Information Office on October 10th, until the end of June 2023, China has signed production capacity cooperation documents with more than 40 countries, and the China Mining Conference and Exhibition and the China-ASEAN Mining Cooperation Forum have become important platforms for mining capacity cooperation among countries that jointly build the "Belt and Road".

　　The China Mining Conference and Exhibition, which was begun in 1999, is guided by the Ministry of Natural Resources of the People's Republic of China and hosted by the China Mining Association. Now it has been one of the largest and most influential mining exhibitions in the world. The conference covers the whole mining industry chain such as geological survey, exploration and mining, smelting and processing, technology and equipment, mining rights transaction, trade and investment, and support services. Over the past 24 years, the China Mining Conference and Exhibition has witnessed the vicissitudes and volatility of the global mining industry, and has become an important bellwether for the global mining industry development.

　　In addition to provide energy and resources for the economic and social development, the high-quality development of mining has attracted more and more attention. This year's conference focuses on promoting exchanges and cooperation between Chinese enterprises and the international mining industry. In particular, an entrepreneur dialogue program is set up in this conference, aiming to encourage participants to share the achievements and experience of cooperation between Chinese enterprises and foreign enterprises. The conference will build a platform for telling China's story well, which helps the world to know a true, credible and responsible China, and see the great achievements and bright prospects of China's mining industry in promoting high-quality development.

　　Today, China's green exploration and development has become a requirement for producing mines and a threshold for new mines. Green exploration and green mine construction, experiencing from initiative to pilot and then to upper and lower linkage, have finally become an important platform and vivid practice to promote the ecological civilization construction in the mining field.

　　Today, China's mine ecological restoration is continuously promoted and achieves phased results despite some problems such as historical legacies and insufficient investment. In the six special plannings of the Master Plan for the Protection and Restoration of National Important Ecosystems (2021-2035), key projects for mine ecological restoration are laid out. China continued to explore the establishment of market-base mechanisms, and issued typical cases of mine ecological restoration at the 15th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity.

　　Today, China's intelligent mine construction is showing an accelerated and comprehensive development trend. New mining formats are constantly emerging. At present, there are 730 coal mines with 1,400 intelligent working faces in China, accounting for 59.5% of the production capacity.

　　Today, China's mining industry opening up policy is constantly releasing. In the annual Special Administrative Measures (Negative List) for Foreign Investment Access unveiled in recent years, the access policy for foreign investment in mining has been continuously relaxed. The Special Administrative Measures (Negative List) for Foreign Investment Access (2019 Edition) lifted the restriction on joint ventures and cooperation in oil and gas exploration and development, and removed the prohibition on foreign investment in molybdenum, tin, antimony and fluorite exploration and mining.

　　Today, China's mining cooperation scope with foreign countries is constantly expanding, and the fields are constantly broadening. The scale of outward investment of China's mining industry remained stable. At the end of 2022, the mining industry's outward direct investment amounted to US\$210.13 billion, mainly in the fields of oil and gas extraction, non-ferrous metal ore mining and beneficiation, ferrous metal ore mining and beneficiation, coal mining and washing. Now, It is one of the six major industries with a stock scale of hundred billions of US dollars.

　　Today, Chinese mining enterprises are more rational and responsible for international mining cooperation. Chinese mining enterprises are more green, open and transparent in "going global". These enterprises paid attention to establishing China's image in the world, and paid attention to the combination of globalization and localization in management and operation.

　　At present, our world, our times and history are changing in ways like never before, and there is still a long way to go to achieve universal security and common development. From this new starting point, the global mining industry is confronted with both important opportunities and an increasingly complex international environment. By unwaveringly promoting the high-quality development of the mining industry and build a green, safe, harmonious, intelligent and efficient mining, we will definitely be able to make new and greater contributions to realizing the Chinese Dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and promoting the construction of a community with a shared future in mining.
