The China-ASEAN Meteorological Development Index, jointly compiled by Guangxi

Meteorological Bureau and China Economic Information Service (CEIS), unveiled

its first batch of core results at opening ceremony of the 6th China

Meteorological Equipment & Service Exhibition held on Saturday in Nanning,

capital of Guangxi.

The first batch core results include the China-ASEAN meteorological

modernization standard system and the 2021 China-ASEAN Meteorological

Development Index Report (Laos).

A total of 49 evaluation indicators are collected in the four dimensions of

environmental support, meteorological observation, weather forecasting, and

meteorological services, which constitutes the core result of the China-ASEAN

Meteorological modernization standard system, according to the released

information.

The China-ASEAN Meteorological Development Index Report (Laos) provides data

analysis and practical suggestions on Lao's meteorological development.

It is learnt that the China-ASEAN Meteorological Development Index will keep in

line with China-ASEAN Expo's choice of its subject country and roll out

corresponding report annually in the future.

To strengthen the Belt and Road countries to share new opportunities in the

digital era and further strengthen international meteorological cooperation,

the index started research in May 2020 with the support of the China

Meteorological Administration (CMA).

The index is to provide analysis on meteorological development of the ASEAN

countries, according to Zhong Guoping, head of Guangxi Meteorological Bureau,

noting that it can provide digital references for further cooperation in the

meteorological sector between China and the ASEAN countries.

Xu Xiaofeng, head of the China Meteorological Service Association (CMS), said

that the China-ASEAN Meteorological Development Index gathered multiple

high-quality resources and collaborative innovations, laying a solid foundation

for deepening international cooperation in the field of meteorology.

The index report showed that Laos had continuously improved its ability to

prevent and reduce weather disasters and respond to changes in weather, with

its weather forecast accuracy and other related indicators meeting the modern

standard, said Li Xiao, China-ASEAN chief analyst with CEIS, China's leading

economic information service provider affiliated to Xinhua News Agency.

The 6th China Meteorological Equipment & Service Exhibition is part of the 18th

China-ASEAN Expo held during Sept. 10-13.
