GX Foundation held its sixth “Medical Humanitarian Aid Educational Talk” yesterday (6 December) at HKSKH Bishop Hall Secondary School. GX Project Director, Dr. Sida LIU shared his insights from his years of experience in humanitarian assistance work with around 200 students. 

The students also had the chance to interact with Cambodian patients and colleagues, as well as the Chinese medical team through a livestream. This helped boost their understanding of the conditions onsite. They all found the work of the foundation special and interesting.

GX is grateful for the arrangements and assistance provided by HKSKH Bishop Hall Secondary School, allowing for the smooth running of the event. In the future, we will continue to provide exchange opportunities in schools of various districts to raise students’ awareness and interest in medical humanitarian aid work.

GX Foundation Chairman, Mr. LEUNG Chun-ying, and CEO, Prof. Emily CHAN Ying-yang finished their 4-day site exploration visit to East Timor on 4 December. The two of them, accompanied by the Chinese Ambassador to Timor-Leste, Ms. WANG Wen-li, had meetings with the President of East Timor, Mr. José RAMOS-HORTA; Prime Minister of East Timor, Mr. Xanana GUSMÃO; Deputy Prime Ministers of East Timor and President of the National Parliament. They had meaningful exchanges and reached a consensus on launching humanitarian project in the field of public health in the country.

Furthermore, the two also met with the Minister of Health, Ms. Élia AMARAL; and the local representative of the WHO, to learn about the local medical and public health situation. To better understand the local healthcare conditions, they carried out investigations at a regional hospital (1 of the 6 major hospitals in the country) , which is three hours away from the capital.

On 23 September 2023, Prime Minister of Timor-Leste, Xanana GUSMÃO, met with President XI Jin-ping to exchange their views on China-East Timor relations, as well as on international and regional issues of common concern. Both parties agreed to elevate their bilateral relationship to a comprehensive strategic partnership.
