The members of the delegation said that they are pleased with the rich, substantial and customized programs of the visit. Through the meetings and field trips, they have personally experienced the tremendous achievements China has made in health care and the great efforts made by the Chinese government to improve people's livelihood, for which they highly respect. Japan has struggled to ward off an aging and childless society for a long time and have both gained successful experiences and learned lessons in health care, elderly care and nursing. China and Japan share a lot of similarities in these fields. They hoped that both the positive and negative experiences of Japan will be helpful to China. With great potentials for cooperation in health care and nursing, it is expected that Japan and China will strengthen exchanges and cooperation and bring together each other's wisdom to benefit the two countries and their peoples.
