Alan Beroud, chairman of the UIC, praised China’s impressive progress in high-speed rail, stating: “I think both China and Europe share a common goal — to develop green technologies, tackle climate change, and make the world a better place.”

François Davenne, director general of the UIC, also noted that China is an important member of the UIC, "we are working a lot with China in particular for our high-speed (rail) standards that we call IRS, International Rail Solution." (Huang Fang)
