More resources and assistance needed to train specialized legal talent

China's cultivation of interdisciplinary talent should be the top priority if it wants to improve international commercial negotiations and solve related disputes, according to legal and economic specialists.

"Talent is the core competence, especially after our country introduced the Belt and Road Initiative and participated in more economic activities in the world," said Zhang Yuejiao, a former judge with the World Trade Organization's appellate body.

She said that the nation's efforts in talent cultivation is not enough, even though it has realized the importance of educating talent.
