What they say

"In addition to the burgeoning development of health promotion efforts within the country, China also actively participates in international communications, hoping to provide a Chinese solution to the global issue of health. Hosting the 9th Global Conference on Health Promotion is a major honor, showing that the Healthy China 2030 strategy is connecting with the world. As the highest-level conference in the field of health promotion, it shows a tight connection between China's efforts in this field and the global undertaking of sanitation, with Shanghai having been chosen to host the conference on its 30th anniversary."

"This is a global gala in the field of promoting public sanitation and health. We will do our best to provide services for the representatives. Meanwhile, with this golden opportunity, we will present China's wisdom and the spectacle of Shanghai, as well as share global experiences. Through such actions, we will endeavor to implement the Healthy China 2030 plan and improve the health of ordinary people."
