Diplomats from 32 countries embark on Inner Mongolia tour

Diplomats from 32 countries in Africa, Asia, Europe, North America, South America and Oceania embarked on a diplomatic tour of North China's Inner Mongolia autonomous region on July 10.

Over the course of four days, the diplomatic delegation will explore major economic, social and cultural development projects in the region's cities of Ulaanqab, Hohhot and Ordos.

They're gaining insights into the progress made on projects related to desertification control, new energy and the solar power industry supply chain there.

That's as well as Inner Mongolia's achievements in promoting China's modernization, particularly in areas such as smart agriculture, the green economy, as well as ecosystem and environmental protection.

The delegation first arrived in Ulaanqab, where the diplomats witnessed a Naadam fair performance on the vast Huitengxile Grassland and marveled at the breathtaking natural scenery.

"Your attire is absolutely stunning!" said Sara Fadual H. A. Sada, Resident Minister of the Qatari Embassy in China, on entering the Ulaanqab High-Speed Railway Station – referring to the traditional Mongolian attire worn by the welcoming staff.
