世界運河歷史文化城市合作組織（WCCO）主席鄭海濤春節(jié)致辭

2026春節(jié)賀辭

女士們、先生們、朋友們：

大家新年好！

一河碧水連千城，萬里鴻運共新春。值此中國新春佳節(jié)來臨之際，我謹代表世界運河歷史文化城市合作組織（WCCO），向一直以來關心支持我們的全球會員朋友、合作伙伴、各界同仁，致以誠摯的問候和美好的祝福！

回望2025，是WCCO與全球運河城市攜手深耕、碩果盈枝的一年。這一年，我們始終秉持“運河賦能城市發(fā)展，合作共促文明互鑒”的初心使命，以實干詮釋擔當，以奮斗書寫答卷。每一項成果的背后，都凝聚著各方的卓識與合力，更昭示著運河作為文明的紐帶，跨越山海、奔赴未來。

文脈貫昔今，古韻煥新章。我們以文化為橋，成功舉辦以“運河·文化·旅游”為主題的世界運河城市論壇，發(fā)布《世界運河城市旅游發(fā)展倡議》；推動運河古鎮(zhèn)、精品景區(qū)合作機制首度出海、落地荷蘭，實現(xiàn)國際景區(qū)聯(lián)動與核心產(chǎn)業(yè)互通；聯(lián)合比利時布魯塞爾中國文化中心開展 “天涯共此時”——2025中比運河城市對話，促進運河文化在跨地域交流中綻放異彩。我們深研歷史底蘊、煥活文化基因，致力繪就世界運河城市可持續(xù)發(fā)展的生動圖景。

綠脈連山海，發(fā)展提質(zhì)效。我們以生態(tài)為基，出席聯(lián)合國第30屆氣候變化大會，并首次以《聯(lián)合國氣候變化框架公約》觀察員機構身份舉辦“運河城市低碳發(fā)展與韌性建設”主題邊會；在巴西、巴拿馬等地開展 “智慧城市，綠色能源，氣候未來——攜手應對氣候變化”主題展覽，與全球賦能可持續(xù)發(fā)展倡議組織達成合作意向；赴美出席2025世界運河大會，與伊利運河國家遺產(chǎn)廊道組織等國際機構展開深度對話。我們踐行綠色發(fā)展、守護運河脈絡，致力探索人與自然和諧共生的全球路徑。

智脈通中外，合作譜新篇。我們以數(shù)字為翼，迭代升級數(shù)字運河平臺，探索文旅融合、智慧水文、生態(tài)修復等領域的創(chuàng)新應用；拓展國際運河數(shù)字協(xié)作網(wǎng)絡，與中歐數(shù)字協(xié)會簽署智慧城市合作協(xié)議；聯(lián)合揚州大學及多國高校發(fā)起“運河城市大學聯(lián)盟”，推動運河文化國際傳播與全球治理經(jīng)驗共享。我們搭建協(xié)作平臺、深化務實合作，致力構建開放包容、互利共贏的世界運河城市合作體系。

運河，是流淌的史詩，是融通的動脈，更是繁榮與共的航道。2026年，WCCO愿繼續(xù)與全球運河城市同心偕行，厚植人文根基，拓展合作維度，創(chuàng)新協(xié)同機制，并肩擘畫運河永續(xù)發(fā)展的壯美畫卷，為筑就世界運河城市共同體貢獻智慧與力量！

衷心祝愿大家新春快樂、身體健康、闔家幸福、萬事勝意！

世界運河歷史文化城市合作組織主席

Spring Festival Message

By WCCO Chairperson

Zheng Haitao

16 February 2026

Dear ladies, gentlemen, and friends,

Greetings to all! As canals link cities, great fortune can be shared far and wide. As Chinese New Year approaches, I, on behalf of the World Historic and Cultural Canal Cities Cooperation Organization (WCCO), would like to extend my sincere greetings and best wishes to those who have always cared for and supported us — our global members, partners, and counterparts from all walks of life.

Looking back on 2025, it was a year of fruitful collaboration between WCCO and canal cities worldwide. This year, adhering to our mission of "Empowering Urban Development through Canals and Promoting Mutual Learning among Civilizations through Cooperation", we have demonstrated responsibility through pragmatic actions and delivered results through dedicated efforts. Behind each achievement is the collective wisdom and concerted efforts of all parties, further showcasing that canals, as bonds between civilizations, can transcend geographical barriers and allow us to advance towards the future.

Cultural Heritage Bridges Past and Present, Ancient Charm Opens New Chapter. In 2025, we hosted the World Canal Cities Forum under the theme "Canals · Culture · Tourism" and released the Initiative on Tourism Development of World Canal Cities in Yangzhou. We advanced the first overseas implementation of cooperation mechanisms for ancient canal towns and boutique scenic areas in the Netherlands, achieving cross-border scenic spots collaboration and core industry integration. In collaboration with the China Cultural Center in Brussels, Belgium, we organized the "A Moonmoment to Remember" — 2025 China-Belgium Canal Cities Dialogue, enabling canal cultures to shine through cross-regional exchanges. Delving into history and breathing new life into culture, WCCO has been dedicated to sketching a blueprint for the sustainable development of world canal cities.

Green Development Pathways Unite Us, High-Quality Growth Illuminates the Future. With ecology as our bedrock, we attended the 30th Session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), where, for the first time as an observer organization, we hosted a side event with the theme "Low-carbon Development and Resilient Infrastructure of Canal Cities". We held thematic exhibitions titled "Smart City, Green Energy, Climate Future — Green Collaboration to Address Climate Change" in Brazil, Panama, and other places. We forged a partnership with the Global Enabling Sustainability Initiative (GeSI). We participated in the World Canals Conference 2025 in the United States, conducting in-depth dialogues with international institutions such as the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor. Practicing green development and safeguarding canal ecosystems, WCCO has been committed to exploring a global path of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature.

Digital Connectivity Links China with the World, Win-Win Cooperation Enters New Chapter. Drawing on digital capabilities, we have iterated and upgraded the Digital Canal Platform, exploring innovative applications in areas like cultural and tourism integration, smart hydrology, and ecological restoration. We signed a smart city cooperation agreement with ChinaEU, further expanding the digital cooperation network for international canals. Together with Yangzhou University and multiple foreign universities, we launched the Canal-city University Cooperation Mechanism (CUCM) to promote the global reach of canal cultures and the sharing of global governance insights. By building collaborative platforms and deepening practical cooperation, WCCO has been endeavoring to establish an open, inclusive, mutually beneficial, and win-win cooperation system for canal cities worldwide.

Canals are flowing epics of transformation, arteries of connection, and, above all, waterways where prosperity is shared. In 2026, WCCO is willing to continue walking hand-in-hand with canal cities across the globe. We will deepen our cultural roots, expand cooperation, and develop new systems of collaboration, jointly charting a magnificent blueprint for the sustainable development of canals and contributing our wisdom and strength to building a community of world canal cities.

We sincerely wish everyone a joyous Spring Festival, good health, a happy family, and success in all your endeavors!
