On the morning of Oct.22, Mr. Li Xikui，Secretary General of CPAFFC, met with Mr. Gu Yu, President of Bethune Medical Development Foundation of Canada. The aim of the Foundation is to promote Bethune’s internationalism spirit, support and promote the activities of ‘contemporary Bethune in Action’ in China, and introduce more ‘contemporary Bethune’ . All donation collected by the Foundation is put into organizing North American and European medical experts to conduct charity medical activities in China, or providing free oversea tutorial, medical exchange and scientific cooperation opportunities to Chinese medical staff.     

President Gu Yu said, many Chinese doctors have reached world-class level so far, yet the lack of publicity and communication hinders the spreading of their reputation in Canada. Last year, the foundation invited the Chinese medical experts to University of Toronto for lectures, and got great positive reflection. Secretary General Li Xikui thanked Mr. Gu Yu’s contribution to the Chinese medical cause and China-Canada friendly exchange, and said further cooperation is highly expected in the future. Then, the two sides have discussion in some cooperation projects. Mr. Zhang Juxiang, Director of China Service Centre for Friendship and Cooperation with Foreign Countries, also attended the meeting.
