A Sino-Norwegian forum on medical cooperation and prospective projects was held in Beijing on April 7. Cui Li, vice-minister of the National Health and Family Planning Commission (NHFPC) and Lisbeth Normann, state secretary of the Norwegian Ministry of Health and Nursing, attended the forum and delivered speeches.

Cui said the Chinese government has always paid great attention to people’s health. She hopes that China and Norway could further cooperate to enrich their shared medical resources, pushing the two countries’ cooperation into a new age.

Normann said she believes that there is a broad array of prospects for Sino-Norwegian health cooperation. In the next step, Norway will strengthen its policy dialogue with China, sharing the experience of healthcare reform.

Co-organized by the Norwegian embassy in China and the NHFPC, the forum was one of the activities for the Norwegian prime minister’s state visit in China. Relevant officials from NHFPC attended the forum.
