中国国家主席习近平夫人、世界卫生组织结核病和艾滋病防治亲善大使彭丽媛周一在上海与比尔及梅琳达·盖茨基金会联合主席比尔·盖茨举行会面。
Peng said that the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has, for a long period of time, carried out effective and fruitful cooperation with relevant Chinese departments in prevention and control of HIV/AIDS, poverty reduction in the field of healthcare, and capacity building in global public health.
"We support the foundation continuing to enhance bilateral and trilateral cooperation with the Chinese side, in such field as improving capability building of China's health professionals and global health professionals' pool," Peng said.
Gates said Chinese President Xi Jinping's keynote speech delivered at the opening ceremony of the China International Import Expo Monday was encouraging. "China deserves praise for having been following the principle of openness, inclusiveness, mutual benefit and win-win result."
The U.S. billionaire philanthropist said his foundation is willing to continue cooperation with China in the fields mentioned above.
