Given the melting of north polar ice, the arctic route becomes more and more strategic. China could optimize its energy transport structure and enhance energy security with the development of the arctic route. This symposium aimed at elevating talents cultivation of polar navigation technology through international cooperation in science and technology as well as strengthening China’s participation in international research projects so as to promote China’s international influence.
