On July 25, the fourth Cross-Straits Pharmaceutical Forum was held in the city of Taipei, Taiwan to promote cross-straits exchanges and cooperation in the pharmaceutical industry.
More than 300 guests attended the forum, including government officials, experts, scholars and representatives from enterprises across the straits.
Speaking at the opening ceremony of the forum, Bian Zhenjia, Deputy Director of the State Food and Drug Administration, said that the Cross-Straits Pharmaceutical Forum was now playing an increasingly important role in enhancing regulation and cooperation in the cross-straits pharmaceutical industry.
The development trend of the cross-straits health food and health industry was discussed as a main topic at the forum.
Following the theme of "New Opportunities for Cross-Straits Health Products Industry Cooperation", the forum was sponsored by the Health Products and Cosmetics Association of Fujian Province, the Xiamen Pharmaceutical Association, the Chinese Herbs & Biotech Development Association and the Taipei Biotechnology Industry Association.
In recent years, the implementation of the official Development Plan of the West Side of the Straits Economic Zone and the signing of the Cross-Straits Medical and Health Cooperation Agreement have ushered in many new opportunities for further cooperation between the two sides of the Taiwan-Straits.
Within the framework of the Cross-Straits Medical and Health Cooperation Agreement, four working groups have been organized, including the medicine group, the medical equipment group, the health food group and the cosmetics group. Many high-level visits, seminars and inspection activities across the Taiwan-Straits have already been conducted.
The 2012 Taiwan Biotech Exhibition and the Cross-Straits Biotech Industry Business Meeting were also staged in conjunction with the pharmaceutical forum to broaden the channel for cooperation in cross-straits projects.
At the biotech exhibition, a pavilion was set up as a display window for mainland health products. Chinese herbal medicines, health food, cosmetics and medical equipment were displayed in the pavilion.
The fifth Cross-Straits Pharmaceutical Forum will be held in Xiamen next year, centering on the development of cross-straits medical equipment. The Cross-Straits Pharmaceuticals Exposition will also be held during the next forum, serving as an important platform for closer cooperation between the two sides of the Taiwan-Straits.
