It was the first time a China’s President has visited the WHO.

President Xi and Dr Chan discussed how China will bring forward its vision for health as a foundation for international cooperation in support of WHO global health goals.

Madame Peng Liyuan, the First Lady of the People’s Republic of China received awards from WHO and UNAIDS for her work on HIV and tuberculosis at a special ceremony in her honour.
