Professor Lo said, "In recent years, Guangxi and Hong Kong have launched co-operation projects in areas such as healthcare talent exchanges and the modernisation of CM, laying a solid foundation for the collaborative development in the healthcare field between the two places. We will continue to uphold the principle of complementarity and mutual benefits to promote in-depth exchanges and mutual learning of experiences between the two places."
