On the afternoon of the 20th, a symposium on NJU's pairing assistance to Shuangbai County was held at the Shuangbai County People's Government.
During the meeting, Tan Zhemin emphasized that pairing assistance work is an important political task assigned to Nanjing University by the Central Committee of the Communist Party. He noted that through the joint efforts of NJU, Chuxiong Prefecture, and Shuangbai County, Shuangbai County has seen rapid development in recent years, painting a new picture of rural revitalization. He pointed out that this year is the final year of the five-year transition period for effectively connecting the consolidation and expansion of poverty alleviation achievements with rural revitalization. We must enhance our sense of responsibility and urgency, continue to deepen our understanding of the patterns of rural revitalization, strengthen the summarization of experiences. Tan Zhemin insisted that the next phase of assistance work should continue to focus on educational assistance, industrial assistance, and targeted assistance, transforming NJU's advantages in education, science and technology, and talent resources into development momentum for Shuangbai, contributing NJU's wisdom and strength to continuously creating new prospects for comprehensive rural revitalization in Shuangbai.
Chen Feimin expressed gratitude for NJU's sincere assistance and hoped to continue the deep friendship, hoping the connection could develop from "assisting Shuangbai" to "empowering Chuxiong." Yang Mengting summarized NJU's assistance in education, science and technology, talent, and consumption, and looked forward to more fruitful results from NJU's pairing-off assistance to Shuangbai.
