China to increase input on the Arctic

China Daily | Updated: 2013-05-16 01:57

Nation wins long-awaited observer status from top-level regional forum

China pledged increased cooperation and contribution to peaceful and sustainable development in the Arctic as it was granted observer status by the Arctic Council on Wednesday.

China "appreciates and welcomes" the council's decision, Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said in a statement.

He reiterated China's support for the council, recognition of Arctic countries' sovereignty, and respect for Arctic residents' values, interests and culture.

The council is a high-level intergovernmental forum that addresses issues faced by Arctic governments and the indigenous people of the Arctic.

Analysts said the long-awaited observer status for China is a wise decision, and the country's participation in Arctic issues will help promote scientific research and trade in the region.

India, Italy, Japan, South Korea and Singapore were also granted observer status at the council's eighth ministerial meeting in Sweden. The European Union was tentatively granted observer status, but it must first address several questions about its bid, The Associated Press reported.

Gustaf Lind, Sweden's Arctic ambassador, said the council's members expect China to play a bigger role in the region's climate research and environmental protection, as China has already worked with climate specialists in the region.

"The Arctic is experiencing very rapid change due to global warming. Any help on the emission of carbon dioxide, from any country, will be crucial to slow this rapid change," Lind said.

China has been paying increasing attention to developments in the Arctic, and is stepping up its polar research. It applied to the council for observer status in 2006 and began to take part in the council's affairs and development in 2007 as an ad hoc observer.

"So there is the possibility for it to be more active within the council's different working groups," Lind said.

Sweden is the current chair of the council, which will pass to Canada after the meeting.

Damien Degeorges, a French Arctic expert and founder of the Arctic Policy and Economic Forum, said it is in the interest of regional governance within the Arctic Council to include non-Arctic states or entities such as China to take part in issues including polar research, climate change and the region's sustainable development.

"It is essential to involve them in polar and climate research and to enable more cooperation between major players on climate research, as this is where you can obtain the best data to adapt to climate change, which matters for countries including China," Degeorges said.

"The Arctic will be the new frontier of international relations and multilateral cooperation. And China, of course, wants to be part of that," he said.
