PARIS, July 28 (Xinhua) -- China had shown its commitment to developing clean energy through its strong support for an international alternative energy program, the head of the program's China office said Wednesday.

The program, known as the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor or ITER, aims to emulate the power of the sun to provide limitless clean energy, Luo Delong told Xinhua during a telephone interview.

"China's active participation in the international nuclear fusion project reflects the country's determination to promote the development of clean energy," Luo said.

"It is also in line with China's long-term energy strategy," Luo said.

In a bid to solve the energy shortage and maintain sustainable development, China is working to develop fossil energy and fission energy while vigorously seeking alternative energy sources, according to Luo.
