By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

Stockholm, Oct. 5(Greenpost)–The Tällberg Foundation has announced its five 2015 Global Leaders, selected by an international panel from more than 200 nominees and 56 Nations. These women and men – each in a most extraordinary way – demonstrate the kind of leadership required by the challenges of the 21st century. By honoring them, the Foundation seeks to draw attention to their work and to illuminate the skills and traits of leadership that they exemplify.

The five Global Leaders were selected by an international jury from a pool of more than 200 nominations drawn from 56 countries. The nominees were selected from a wide range of fields and roles, including Fortune 100 CEOs, national political leaders, innovative and risk-taking social activists and entrepreneurs, artists, religious figures and many others. They were nominated by leaders from around the world as well as the general public.

The Tällberg Foundation Global Leaders, class of 2015, are:

Jamila Afghani, Founder and Program Director of the Noor Educational and Capacity Development Organization (NECDO) in Kabul, Afghanistan.
Jamila Afghani’s enormously courageous efforts – rooted in knowledge, persistence and vision – aim to educate Imams in Afghanistan about women’s rights in Islam as well as on peace, reconciliation and dispute resolution, with the goal of furthering positive social change. NECDO is a local Afghan women’s NGO serving women, youth, and children and dedicated to educational activities, including establishing libraries.
Antonella Battaglini, Founder and CEO of the Renewables Grid Initiative (RGI) in Berlin, Germany.

Dr. M. S. Swaminathan is the scientific leader of the Green Revolution in India and, more recently, has been instrumental in shifting attention from food security as measured by caloric intake to a concept incorporating access to balanced diet and clean water. He also played an important role in the successful effort to make access to food a legal right in India – a model for the rest of the world. The Foundation aims to accelerate use of modern science for agricultural and rural development for the development and dissemination of technology to improve lives and livelihoods of tribal and rural communities.
Selection of the Tällberg Foundation Global Leaders is an integral part of the Foundation’s efforts to encourage new thinking about the evolving nature of leadership. The five Global Leaders are also the finalists for the Tällberg Foundation Global Leadership Prize, which will be celebrated in an awards ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden on November 11th. The Prize will be awarded to two individuals, each of whom will receive $50,000 to encourage his or her continued leadership.

中国海军护航编队斯德哥尔摩开放日大受欢迎

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)--正在瑞典访问的中国海军护航编队10月3日在斯德哥尔摩国家花园港向中瑞公众开放。很多在月30日和10月2日因工作或其他原因没能参观的人有机会亲自登上中国海军舰艇参观。开放日活动大受欢迎,据不完全统计有七八千人参观了舰艇。

中国海军护航编队是在非洲亚丁湾执行完护航任务后进行环球航行的。此前他们访问了芬兰。根据热情而万能的朋友圈报道,中国海军瑞典之行大大提升了祖国在华人华侨心中的地位,那种令人感动的鱼水之情,子弟兵之情,军民一家亲的感受都从字里行间表达出来了。下面看看朋友圈暴晒的留言:

photo (1)最让人感动的是儿子通过参观学到了东西。朋友圈的jiangjiang说:10月3日是舰艇参观开放日,正值周六,全家出动看军舰去。

“想来个错峰参观,可是午后现场这阵势还是吓了我一跳,长长的队伍绵延一百多米,愣是排了一个半小时才轮到我们!排队参观的大多都是同胞,很多推婴儿车,带孩子的,也有不少老外,置身队伍中我感觉大家的爱国热情还是蛮高的啊!很多朋友都开玩笑说来瑞典这么久还从未见过这么多中国人呢。如今在祖国军舰的吸引下,大家居然集体冒出来现身了!”

DSC_3238“踏上军舰甲板的那一刻,我感到心底有个声音在呼喊:´祖国,我来了!´看到舰艇上迎风飘扬的五星红旗,英姿飒爽的解放军战士和军官们,还有舱内的各种标语,宣传画,我居然有一种恍惚穿越的感觉,好像回到了祖国啦!”

回家的路上,儿子讲解:“妈妈,我跟你说,导弹啊可不是调皮捣蛋的那个导弹,你可得分清楚,这个导弹可厉害了。”

当然,这里记者想补充一句,在西方很多家长其实不愿意让孩子过早地看战斗片或者是武器。但是,不可避免地游戏当中还是有很多这样的东西。不管怎样,让孩子看到父母很高兴地带他们到这里参观,恐怕是一辈子都会留下美好的印象。

Yueguang:这几天在斯德哥尔摩到处可见身着便装的海军官兵,忍不住内心的喜悦,和他们留影纪念。和自己国家的舰艇亲密接触倍感幸福。几乎每个参观者都忍不住合影留念,而且都不只一张。

还有朋友圈的吃货的可爱评价:有生以来,第一次登上了服役中的战舰,并品尝了海军的午餐!排骨很好吃!果然还是长了一颗中国胃。也真心觉得有一股油然而生的自豪感。

梁爽:祝福你们,明日你们即将抛锚,我只想告诉你们,我们的祝福会跟随你们飘过浩瀚的海洋!

DSC_3268黄丽春:舰艇威武雄壮,四周大批游客以及民众前往参观,原来才发现在这里也有这么多的华人存在。

还有人思绪万千地联想到14世纪的郑和下西洋,那时,强大的中央王国海军到达过非洲赤道,但今天中国海军完成非洲护航任务后还要进行环球航行,所到之处,宣传和平,传播友谊。也有人联想到1840年的中央王国,依然不知外面还有西方。但今天,中国海军的实力,无疑是历史上最现代的时期。能够走出来,确实令人自豪。

中国海军护航舰队的到访的消息成了华人华侨家喻户晓的一大新闻,也成了聚集华人的一个聚集地。它令人振奋,令人自豪,令人找回了久违的军民一家人的感觉。

今日头条:一场特殊的国庆招待会——甲板上的约会

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)—— 中国驻瑞典大使陈育明10月2日在出席斯德哥尔摩举办的一场特殊的国庆招待会-“甲板上的约会”时说,中国愿做忠实的和平守护者与世界经济发展的动力源,同国际社会一道共迎挑战,共享机遇,共创未来。

DSC_3618

他首先对中国海军护航编队的来访表示热烈欢迎,也对参加甲板上的招待会的中瑞客人表示欢迎。

DSC_3581

他说,当今世界新老挑战层出不穷,政局动荡,难民涌入,恐怖袭击,经济下行,金融波动,风浪面前,航海者应该如何应对。我们始终认为,支流无法使和平,发展与合作的时代大潮改向,逆流不能阻挡航船前行。

中国将加深同各国合作实现共同繁荣,共同面对挑战。

他说,中国海军在完成非洲之角亚丁湾的护航任务后首次访问瑞典,带来了真诚的友谊,双边互信增强,也表明了中国保卫世界和平的决心。我们将弘扬中瑞友谊。建交65年来,中瑞并肩行动,建立了一个互利互惠的合作模式,中瑞关系,世界和平与经济发展将迎来阳光明媚的春天。

DSC_3651

中国海军护航编队的指挥官王建勋致辞说:今天我们在中国海军军舰上隆重庆祝中华人民共和国成立66周年,暨中国海军152舰艇编队首次访问瑞典。这是个喜庆而值得纪念的日子。66年来,中国完成了从建国初期一穷二白,到现在基本消除贫困,国内人民生活水平明显改善,国际声誉和影响力不断提高,所取得的成就有目共睹。

近年来,通过海上护航,撤离海外公民,应急救援等海外行动,中国海军积极履行负责任大国义务,已经成为一只维护世界和平与稳定的不可或缺的重要力量。中国人民历来热爱和平。

“我们此次来访的目的也正是为了促进和平,传播友谊。”

与此同时,今天也是中瑞建交65周年,中瑞两国虽然相距遥远,但是友好交往历史源远流长,早在18世纪瑞典的哥德堡号航船就曾三次抵达中国,我们现在也期待着更多的哥德堡号驶向东方,驶向中国,驶向太阳升起的地方。

王建勋说,瑞典是第一个同中国建交的国家,是中国的很好的合作伙伴,我们非常珍惜这份友好的情谊。他对瑞典军方的周到安排表示赞赏,这些体现了中瑞之间的深厚感情。他说,在瑞典海军方面的支持下和中国驻瑞典大使馆的支持下,中国海军编队对瑞典的访问是成功的。

DSC_3653

瑞典卫生与体育大臣维克斯特伦致辞说:中国是瑞典在亚洲最大的贸易伙伴。中瑞双方贸易合作不断加强。瑞典有500多家公司在中国落户。中国也开始有越来越多的公司在瑞典投资。两国高层互访频繁。今年4月,我也去过北京,南京和上海访问考察推广我们的卫生部门。在健康卫生领域,中瑞可以合作,在研发和绿色科技,生命科学方面都可以加强合作。

出席招待会的还有瑞典国务秘书萨勒斯特朗德和斯特恩斯特罗姆,瑞典驻华大使馆武官马翔大校,中国大使馆武官徐俊,中国驻瑞大使馆政务参赞李军峰,教育参赞窦春祥,科技参赞程家怡,文化参赞浦正东,领事部主任郭延航,驻瑞典各国使节和武官,瑞典华人华侨和中资机构代表等500多人出席了这次别开生面的国庆招待会。

China Focus: China beefs up Food Safety Law

GUANGZHOU, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) — China is preparing a tougher Food Safety Law to come into effect on Oct. 1, said a senior official with China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) on Tuesday.

Guo Wenqi made the remark at a seminar on food safety and rule of law in Guangzhou, capital city of south China’s Guangdong Province.

In April, the Standing Committee of China’s National People’s Congress (NPC), the country’s top legislature, adopted an amendment to the 2009 Food Safety Law with the heaviest civil, administrative and criminal penalties yet for offenders and their supervisors.

According to Guo Xiaoguang, head of CFDA Bureau of Investigation and Enforcement, the CFDA has been working with a dozen agencies, including financial institutions, taxation and fiscal departments, on dealing with serious food safety violators.

Enterprises that violate the revised law may face restrictions on loans, taxation, bidding and land use. The CFDA will also provide bigger rewards to whistleblowers.

Hua Jingfeng, deputy head of Public Order Administration at the Ministry of Public Security said, “We encourage tip-offs from the public and food industry associations.”

He said the ministry wants trained police specialized in food crime and so far 21 provincial public security departments have set up food safety teams.

Guan Yingshi from the SPC said people’s courts are taking measures to promote public awareness of food safety law. For example, trials of some notorious food crimes will be on live broadcast.

The Supreme People’s Procuratorate will take action over neglect of duty in food production as well as safety supervision.

“By analyzing the underlying causes of the cases through investigations and trials and drawing lesson from them, the SPP will be able to give advice and help businesses set up regulations and fix loopholes,” said Huo Yapeng of the SPP. Enditem

 

 

China gains contract on feasibility study for Indian high-speed railway

BEIJING, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) — A consortium of Chinese and Indian companies will conduct a feasibility study for a high-speed railroad linking New Delhi and Mumbai, China Railway Corporation (CRC) said on Wednesday.

The Third Railway Survey and Design Institute Group Corporation, a subsidiary of CRC, will work with Indian firms, dispatching rail experts to initiate the study for the 1,200-km railway, CRC said.

India has invited global tenders for three high-speed rails, including the New Delhi-Mumbai railway, in December and attracted 12 consortiums from 7 countries bidding for the contracts.

CRC said China’s railway technology is reliable and adaptive and has lower price/performance ratio.

China now has around 17,000 km of fast tracks, accounting for more than 60 percent of the world’s total. Enditem

China to champion eco-vehicles with favorable policies

BEIJING, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) — China has further proved it is committed to cutting harmful emissions with a slew of measures to support electric vehicles, according to a State Council statement on Wednesday.

To promote growth of the burgeoning sector, more charging stations and inter-city fast-charge stations should be built, according to the statement released after a State Council executive meeting presided over by Premier Li Keqiang.

New residential complexes should ensure that all parking lots have charging facilities or space should be left for such facilities, while no less than 10 percent of parking lots in large public buildings or public car lots should have charging facilities, the statement said.

The government said it would welcome private investment in the project, it said.

China will provide tax and land support, allow privately-owned parks to collect fees and support favorable financing options for construction projects, according to the statement.

The new energy vehicle sector in China has seen explosive growth in the past two years, thanks to subsidies and tax cuts.

In the first eight months of this year, sales of new energy vehicles surged 270 percent to 108,654 vehicles, according to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers. Enditem
