JNU Vice President Zhang Hong said the meeting embodied the strategic consensus among China and other countries -- an embodiment of great importance in talent-training, educational cooperation and exchange.

Sun Huaping, associate dean of the College of Pharmacy, suggested that the college's undertaking of such an important international conference demonstrated both the public's trust and recognition of it. Sun said he hoped all the participants could promote their friendship, forge ahead hand in hand, and strive for breakthroughs in biomedical bottle neck technology.

Martin G. Banwell, a fellow of the Royal Australian Academy of Sciences, suggested that in pharmaceutical studies, Chinese teams should promote active exchanges with teams abroad. He said both sides were obliged to collaborate, show inclusiveness, learn from each other, achieve win-win results, facilitate international cooperation and establish a more worldwide exchange platform1.

Representatives of specialists gave a series of academic reports, with insightful communication and discussion about the latest research achievement and future trends in medicine.
