Bill Gates 'honored' to work with Chinese counterparts

Multibillionaire suggests more health improvement efforts in B&R Initiative

Microsoft founder Bill Gates said it's a great honor for him to be elected into the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and he would take advantage of the opportunity to communicate with Chinese academicians to improve the world.

The 63-year-old US multibillionaire and philanthropist made the remarks during an online interview with Chinese media earlier this month before Bill and his wife Melinda on Tuesday released their 2018 annual letter, titled "The 10 Toughest Questions We Get".
