China is innovating very fast while maintaining an admirable long-term vision, Veolia CEO Estelle Brachlianoff said, noting that China has impressed the world in green energy, where the pace of technological development has been "impressive".

In an exclusive interview with China Daily, Brachlianoff said Veolia is looking forward to seeing how 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) form strong alignment between the French company's GreenUp strategy and China's green development goals.

"We've been in this country for over 30 years, and will be in this country for decades to come," she said.
