"The most wonderful change I've felt is that Beijing's sky has turned to  dreamlike blue," said Fernando Lugris, Ambassador of the Oriental  Republic of Uruguayan to China, who took office in Beijing in 2015. Over  the past nearly eight years, Ambassador Lugris has witnessed the  efforts of the Chinese government and the Beijing municipal government  to promote sustainable development and a green economy. He believes that  Beijing has achieved tremendous success in green development, with  technology being well embedded in daily life. Services such as shared  bicycles and smart transportation have greatly enhanced the well-being  of the citizens. Ambassador Lugris stated, "Beijing will become greener  and more modern in the future."
