[Li Qiang met with Chairman Wu Han and CEO Hoy of WorldSkills Organization] On the afternoon of September 22, Premier Li Qiang met in Shanghai with Chairman Wu Han and CEO Hoy of WorldSkills Organization who were in China to attend the 48th WorldSkills Competition. Li Qiang said that China has maintained close and good cooperative relations with WorldSkills Organization for a long time. The hosting of the 48th WorldSkills Competition is something that President Xi Jinping personally cares about and promotes. It reflects China’s great emphasis on skilled talents and its firm support for global skills cooperation. In the preliminary preparation process, China has carried out sincere cooperation with WorldSkills. We are confident that we can work together to deliver a wonderful skills event to the world. China is willing to further deepen cooperation with WorldSkills to jointly promote the development of global skills undertakings, promote steady growth of the world economy, and enhance the well-being of people in all countries. Li Qiang pointed out that China will continue to strengthen domestic skills work and improve the training, use, evaluation, incentive and other mechanisms for skilled talents. At the same time, it will continue to provide useful experience and public goods for the global skills cause, so that the dividends of skills development will benefit more countries. China is willing to continue to support the transformation and development of WorldSkills and help WorldSkills achieve greater achievements in various fields such as competitions, education and training, academic research, skills-based poverty reduction, and South-South cooperation. Both sides should make good use of the results of this WorldSkills Competition and operate the WorldSkills Museum and other platforms well. It is hoped that WorldSkills will share more international experience with China in terms of talent cultivation and teacher training, and support China in playing a greater role in global governance in the skills field. Wuhan and Hoy highly appreciated the vigorous development of China's skills industry and its provision of help and reference for other countries. I believe that China will present an unprecedented world skills competition to the international community, inspiring people from all over the world to continue to innovate and pursue excellence. We look forward to working with China to promote the WorldSkills Organization's 2035 vision plan, work together to strengthen the construction of a high-quality talent team, and jointly contribute to world peace, stability, prosperity and development.
