BEIJING, July 19,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Power Construction
Corporation of China ("POWERCHINA" or "the Company")
continues to play a vital role in the development of global sports
with the smooth progress of multiple sports facility construction
projects around the world, demonstrating its significant efforts in
promoting cross-cultural exchanges through the organizing of sports
events.
In May 2024, the groundbreaking ceremony for the Serbia
National Football Stadium Project and the EXPO 2027 project
undertaken by POWERCHINA was successfully held, with Serbian
President Aleksandar Vucic expressing his high expectations
for the project at the ceremony, thanking China for its
support. The stadium will provide Serbia with high-quality sports
facilities, capable of hosting World Cup and European Cup-level
events, while the EXPO 2027 project will become one
of Southeast Europe's largest international trade expo
venues, hosting EXPO 2027.
POWERCHINA has been expanding its sports facility construction
projects globally. For instance, it built Qatar's first
solar power plant, the 800-megawatt Al Kharsaah photovoltaic power
station, which began operations during the 2022 FIFA World
Cup. Qatar's Minister of State for Energy
Affairs, Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi,
noted that the project increases renewable energy utilization and
supports Qatar's commitment to a
"carbon-neutral" World Cup.
In Benin, POWERCHINA has undertaken multipurpose stadium
projects, constructing sports facilities in 10 cities. Locally led
construction includes stands, all-weather running tracks, offices,
and landscaping. The project overcame challenges of tight
deadlines, extensive tasks, and logistics across multiple cities to
ensure progress and quality. POWERCHINA upholds its principle of
treating project sites like cities at home, fostering community
bonds, and fulfilling corporate social responsibilities
diligently.
The Benguela and Lubango Stadiums in Angola are
designed and constructed by POWERCHINA. Signed on Dec. 18th,
2007 and delivered in December 2009,
the project is two of the four important stadiums built in
Angola for the 2010 Africa
Football Cup of Nations, providing important support for the smooth
organization of the event.
POWERCHINA not only builds sports facilities globally but also
promotes employee wellness through sports events. In Ecuador,
the Company sponsored the SINOHYDRO Cup Football Friendly Match,
part of the Ecuadorian Amazon Region Electric Power Union Sports
Competition. Local and Chinese employees participated, with the
multicultural POWERCHINA team winning. The Mayor of El Chaco
commended POWERCHINA for its active role and support in local
sports, acknowledging its significant community contributions.
Similarly, the Company has organized and engaged in football and
badminton events in the UAE and Malaysia respectively,
further fostering sports participation and community
development.
POWERCHINA is committed to global infrastructure construction,
actively participates in various sports and cultural exchanges,
promotes international friendship and cooperation, integrates the
concept of sustainable development, promotes global high-quality
development, and injects a strong impetus for building a community
of human destiny.
