Execs laud Xi's keynote remarks at 4th CIIE (IV)
Vivian Bian, CEO of Roche Pharmaceuticals China
President Xi's keynote speech is impressive and inspiring. This year marks the 20th anniversary of China's accession to the World Trade Organization. It is also the first year of China's 14th Five-Year Plan period, and an important moment for China to achieve full economic recovery. This year's CIIE is of great significance. President Xi highlighted that China will further shorten the negative list of market access for foreign investors, and expand the opening-up of healthcare and other sectors in an orderly manner. It will continue to create massive cooperation opportunities from China and raise the world's expectations for the Chinese market to open up at a higher level. Therefore, we are fully confident about the future of the China market!
This year, Roche is celebrating its 125th anniversary. As one of the world's leading biotechnology companies, we have been rooted in China for 27 years. Taking advantage of the strong spillover effect of the CIIE, Roche will continue to work with the government and all partners to bring forward more innovative products and solutions to benefit Chinese patients as early as possible, and strive to build an open, cooperative, and innovative local health ecosystem and safeguard human health for the future.
