Chinese President Xi Jinping sent a congratulatory letter to the opening of the Global Health Forum of Boao Forum for Asia in Qingdao.

Xi stressed, “Health for All” is the common aspiration of humanity and a key part of the building of a community of a shared future for mankind, and advancing the cause of global health is also important in implementing the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Boao Forum for Asia is an important effort in promoting the common development and people’s well-being in Asia and around the world, to which the Forum has been committed. I hope that the forum would help pool strength from all sides, build consensus, enhance exchanges, advance the global health cause and the health sector, and promote international health cooperation, in order to contribute to promoting the health of humanity.
