The mission aligns with the Green Expedition Initiative, an effort launched in 2017 during the 40th Antarctic Treaty Consultative Meeting. Spearheaded by China in partnership with Australia, Chile, France, and other countries, the initiative aims to enhance scientific research and environmental preservation in Antarctica.
