Jointly sponsored by the National Energy Administration of China and the

People's Government of Shandong Province, the Second Belt and Road Energy

Ministerial Conference, themed "Join Hands towards a Greener and More Inclusive

Energy Future", opened at Qingdao International Convention Center, Qingdao on
