The enterprise sustainable development project implemented since 2014 is the most significant cooperation achievement in recent years and an important tool and effective approach to promoting full participation in safety production. In the future, the project implementation should be integrated with key safety production tasks, provide multi-faceted services for the development of the safety production cause, and be organically combined with local safety production realities to continuously optimize the project service system. It should also contribute to the construction of the "Belt and Road" international cooperation mechanism for natural disaster prevention and emergency management. It is hoped that through this event the project's influence will be further expanded, its achievements consolidated and expanded and more regions to benefit from safety production work.
