On the evening of September 27, 2024, a distinctive Reception for Foreign Experts was held at the Great Hall of the People to mark the 75th Anniversary of the People’s Republic of China. CPC The Politburo Standing Committee (PSC) and the State Council Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang attended and delivered speeches. Professor Manfred Dietel, Academician of the German National Academy of Sciences, Chairman of the German-Chinese Health Organization, Director of the Sino-German Virchow Joint Institute of Pathology, and Chief Scientist of the Virchow Laboratory, was invited to attend the event.

This symposium aimed to express gratitude to foreign experts for standing shoulder to shoulder with the Chinese people and collaborating tirelessly during this period, as well as to recognize their significant contributions to China’s socialist modernization drive.

Academician Dietel and his team at Virchow Laboratory have remained committed to scientific innovation and development, actively contributing to improving public health, advancing medical technologies, and supporting the implementation of national and international healthcare initiatives. He pledges to continue serving as a dedicated contributor to Chinese modernization, a bridge for Sino-foreign exchanges, and a civil ambassador fostering people-to-people friendship, thereby making new and greater contributions to building a global community with a shared future for humanity.

This symposium not only strengthened the bonds between foreign experts and China but also injected fresh momentum into cross-cultural collaboration. On the special occasion of China’s 75th National Day, such exchanges are expected to further enhance international understanding and cooperation, paving the way for a brighter shared future.
