Last week, China invited South Africa to form a partnership to develop renewable energy in both countries. In a meeting with the Chairman of South Africa National Council of Provinces Mninwa Johannes Maghlangu, China's top legislator Wu Bangguo spoke of China's experience incorporating renewable energy and energy efficiency into its development campaign, and offered to aid South Africa in incorporating similar measures into its New Economic Growth Path. China hopes to collaborate with the country on a range of clean energy innovation and demonstration projects.
