Chinese President Xi Jinping has sent a congratulatory letter to the Science and Technology Daily on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of its founding.
We are here today, along the Xiangjiang River, at the foot of Yuelu Mountain in Hunan, China, for the 2026 Annual Meeting of the International Union for Science and Technology Communication – IUSTC - and the Forum on Charting the Path for the Global Outreach of Integrated Culture-Tech Industries. On behalf of Science and Technology Daily and the IUSTC Secretariat, I extend a warm welcome to all IUSTC representatives and guests, both Chinese and those who traveled from far to be here. I would also like to thank the Publicity Department of the CPC Hunan Provincial Committee, the Hunan Provincial Department of Science and Technology, and the Malanshan Group for their support.
