This forum is held under the framework of 2023 China-ASEAN Education Cooperation Week, on the theme “New Vision for Education Cooperation, Common Prosperity for Belt and Road” jointly organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, the Ministry of Education of China, and the People’s Government of Guizhou Province. This annual event has been a successful platform for fostering educational exchange and cooperation between China and the ASEAN region for the past 15 years since its establishment in 2008. It continues to be an important intergovernmental initiative in promoting mutual learning and development in the field of education.
The significance of the “Forum on China-ASEAN Cooperation in Public Health” stems from the China-ASEAN Science and Technology Cooperation Center for Public Health, which was launched by PKUHSC in April 2023. This center aims to foster research and collaboration between China and ASEAN countries in the area of public health, addressing critical health challenges and developing innovative solutions to enhance regional health security and improve the well-being of people in both regions.
