On January 7, Ambassador He Rulong met with Mr. Róbert Guðfinnsson, Founder and Chairman of the board of Icelandic biotechnology company Genís. The two sides exchanged views on strengthening biomedical cooperation between China and Iceland. Counselor Dai Ke of the Embassy attended the meeting. 

Ambassador He highlighted the proposals for China’s 15th Five-Year Plan. He pointed out that China's economy is steadily growing, with continuous technological innovation achievements and the world-leading green development. China’s development is providing opportunities for the rest of the world. Based on the solid foundation for green cooperation between China and Iceland, China is willing to continue strengthening economic and trade ties with Iceland to jointly inject momentum into global sustainable development.

Guðfinnsson spoke positively of China's development achievements which he believed could be a good reference to Iceland. Genís has long attached great importance to technological research and development, while China possesses the capacity for large-scale production and continuous innovation. The company is thus willing to actively engage in long-term cooperation with China to jointly serve the global market.
