Better conditions due for overseas talents
(Xinhua)
Updated: 2006-01-25 21:44 Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao on Wednesday required
relevant departments to further improve the living and working conditions of
overseas talents.
"We are instituting a regulation on improving the working and living
situation of overseas talents in China and its draft will be discussed in the
State Council later this year," Wen told a gathering of about 30 overseas
talents in the Great Hall of the People.
On behalf of the Chinese Communist Party Central Committee and the State
Council, China's cabinet, Wen sent his warm greetings to the experts and their
families as the Chinese lunar new year draws near.
"Introducing talents from the outside is as important as attracting
investment and advanced technologies in our opening-up efforts," Wen said.
Wen thanked the experts for their devotion to the Chinese cause of revolution
and economic construction in the past decades. He said the Chinese people will
never forget their painstaking efforts and contributions.
Some overseas experts, such as American translator Sidney Shapiro and Nobel
laureate Chen Ning Yang, raised their concerns and suggestions for the Chinese
social and economic construction and Wen answered their questions on the
occasion.
