NEW YORK, Sept. 25 (Xinhua) — Chinese Premier Li Qiang on Wednesday expressed hope that Bill Gates and the Gates Foundation will play a role in further deepening exchanges and cooperation between China and the United States to achieve more practical results.
Li Qiang made the statement at a meeting with B. Gates, Chairman of the Gates Foundation, on the sidelines of the general debate of the 80th session of the UN General Assembly.
Li Qiang expressed gratitude to B. Gates and his foundation for their long-term commitment to global poverty reduction, health, development and philanthropy.
Noting that China has made tremendous achievements in the field of healthcare in recent years and built the world's largest disease control and medical care system, Li Qiang said that China is also actively involved in global development cooperation.
China is willing to expand cooperation with the fund, implement more joint projects across the entire healthcare chain worldwide, and actively participate in trilateral and multilateral cooperation with developing countries to bring greater benefits to the people and make greater contributions to global development, the Chinese Premier said.
Li Qiang expressed hope that the fund will continue to strengthen cooperation with relevant Chinese departments and local partners, using relevant platforms to implement cooperation projects.
According to him, the healthy and stable development of Sino-US relations benefits not only the two countries but also the world as a whole.
In the face of growing global challenges, he called on both countries to maintain close cooperation, strengthen and improve global governance, and jointly promote global stability, development and prosperity.
In turn, B. Gates stated that China's achievements in areas such as scientific and technological innovation, artificial intelligence, medicine and healthcare, as well as poverty reduction, have attracted the attention of the entire world in recent years.
He noted that the foundation hopes to further strengthen its relationship with China and carry out more substantive cooperation in the field of global health, especially in developing countries, in order to jointly advance the cause of global development.
Calling the US-China relationship one of the most important bilateral relationships in the world today, Gates pledged that he and the foundation would work actively to promote closer communication and cooperation between the two countries and to jointly address global challenges. –0–
