TIANJIN, Sept. 11 (Xinhua) -- China's leading solar panel manufacturer, Trina Solar, is confident in the future cooperation with European companies despite the European Commission filing an anti-dumping investigation over Chinese photovoltaic (PV) products last Thursday.
The manufacturer expressed its confidence on Tuesday at the ongoing sixth Summer Davos Forum, formally known as the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting of the New Champions. It is being held from Sept. 11 to 13 in north China's port city of Tianjin.
China should review its PV industry and accelerate exploitation of its domestic market in order to maintain sustainable development, said Gao Jifan, chairman and CEO of Trina Solar, during an interactive session at the forum.
The European Commission decided to investigate the suspected dumping of solar panels by Chinese producers but it has not made a final decision, Gao said.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao and German Chancellor Angela Merkel reached an agreement on the recent dispute at the end of August, that China and Europe should try to resolve the issue through talks and avoid anti-dumping proceedings, Gao added.
