Mr. Siddharth Chatterjee UN Resident Coordinator in China

Science and technology are critical catalysts for accelerating development and empowering residents in rural areas and the launch of the Annual Report and Thematic Study can provide critical examples of how we can put these innovative ideas into practice.

China's people-centred development has led to several accomplishments, including the eradication of extreme poverty. The experiences of China offer many potential lessons that can shared with other developing countries on their path towards sustainable development. Here, China's story provides a source of hope and shows us what can be achieved.

The report shows a commitment to fostering next-generation talents and encouraging innovation. Such efforts don't just benefit China, they potentially provide key solutions that can be replicated in other countries facing similar challenges.
