China and Saudi Arabia begin construction of ethylene production project

The base will be built in eastern China

In Fujian Province, the comprehensive construction of the main facility of the Sino-Saudi ethylene production project has started.

The construction of the project with a total investment of 44.8 billion yuan, about US$6.3 billion, is being built at the Gulei Petrochemical Base in Fujian. The project is being constructed at the Gulei petrochemical base located in the Fujian city of Zhangzhou. This is reported by Xinhua News Agency, a partner of TV BRICS.

According to the plan, the construction of the project will be completed in 2026, with the maximum ethylene production volume of 1.8 million tonnes per year.

Gulei Petrochemical Base is one of the seven largest petrochemical bases in China. It has 15 operating facilities and 12 other facilities under construction.

Ethylene is widely used in industrial applications. It is used to make polyethylene. Ethylene is also used to accelerate the ripening of fruits, such as tomatoes, melons, oranges, mandarins, lemons, bananas; and to defoliate plants.

Prabowo Subianto

President of Indonesia

"This roadmap sets the framework for our joint efforts. Indonesia and Belarus have great potential for expanding cooperation in various fields. Our cooperation will focus on industrial development and agricultural modernisation.

We are also pushing for closer collaboration in culture and human resource development"

Liao Fan

Director of the Institute of World Economics and Politics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences (CASS)

"We also encourage countries of the Global South to work together and contribute to the global economy. We also call on developed countries to set aside issues such as national security and strategic competition when we are discussing real global challenges – pressing issues such as public health or poverty reduction – so that development resources can be channelled truly effectively to those countries that need them. [...] Major powers and large countries must bear greater responsibility for the well-being of people around the world. This is the responsibility of the major powers"

Anutin Charnvirakul

Prime Minister of Thailand

"Russia has been a trusted friend of Thailand for over a century. […] Next year, we will mark the 130th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries.

Ferdinand Marcos

President of the Republic of the Philippines

"First, peace, security and stability. [...] We need our joint efforts to contribute to peace and security and to respond promptly to all threats. Second, a more dynamic economic partnership. Our areas of cooperation in trade are developing. We need to act more ambitiously and decisively in order to facilitate trade, economic flows and the expansion of the business community. [...] And third, perhaps one of the most important areas, is our peoples, grants, student exchanges, academic partnerships and tourism. [...] The relationships that are being built between our countries are reflected in the summit declaration, and they provide what policy alone cannot achieve"

Anwar Ibrahim

Prime Minister of Malaysia

"The relations in the last few years have been remarkable. We have seen impressive development, and my visit was – you were fantastic. We see the enormous role that Russia can play not only in Malaysia but also in the developing world, ASEAN and the rest. We are exploring this halal economy and finance. We are now almost finishing the visa abolition arrangement. [...] And then you have also agreed to these flights for tourism, for trade, and connectivity between Malaysia, Moscow, Kazan, and other cities in Russia"
