China Coal Top Forum 2003 held
Under the title of "Taking a new road to industrialization", China Coal Top Forum 2003 was held on April 11 ~ 12, 2003 in Beijing. China s coal industry s top officials, key leaders of giant coal companies and many top coal experts and scholars attended this forum.
At the opening ceremony, Fan Weitang, chairman of China National Coal Association and academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, delivered his key-note speech entitled "Some thoughts on taking a new road to industrialization in the coal sector".

The last but not the least, a healthier development of China s coal industry will not only need the efforts of its own, but also a benign environment. There is much to do to improve the taxation systems, electric coal pricing, relieving of the social burdens on coal mines and finding solutions to the substandard business operation of small-sized coal mines and disorders in coal marketing competition, etc.
The key note speech of Fan Weitang was hailed by all participants at the forum.
