Dr. Dong Wang expressed that "Vancouver Win-Win Fund" would offer C$100 million before the coming year and then up to C$500 million in the next 3 to 5 years. Since there were large amount of medical and technological talents and companies in British Columbia, the Company would aim at the investment of biological, technological and medical study projects. Dr. Dong Wang also expressed his anticipation to share technological fruits and to create a win-win situation on the base of the Company's efforts on pushing the research and development of medical technology in B. C.
In his address, Dr. Dong Wang shortly reviewed the course of Beijing Aikang Group from its start-up til now and the purposes of establishing its North American headquarter in Vancouver and Vancouver Win-Win Fund. He said that "It must be very tiring if one sticks to the idea of getting something when he comes here. But if he always wants to do something good for the city and makes the contribution, then things will become easier. People are kind in Vancouver and the well-functioned legal system of Canada and the mutual trust will provide a solid foundation to make much work easier and simpler. I am confident that the establishment of our North American headquarter could deepen the cooperation between China and Canada, which will bridge companies of both sides, with human resources utilized from China and Canada and a win-win situation created."
Iris Zhao, CEO of Aikang Capital Inc., expressed that "More participation and more observation of economic globalization in China, Canada and even the world will conclude the understanding that global investment is not that easy. Aikang will build the bridge to narrow cultural, geographical and economic gaps. What's more, we would do as what Adam Smith said 200 years before and what Dr. Wang is practicing in Aikang, 'to feel much for others and less for ourselves; to restrain our selfishness and exercise our benevolent affections, constitute the perfection of human nature.' It's the philosophy of Aikang and also mine. I will be here and continuously devote myself to explorating openly, pursuing improvement via diligent work and creating the win-win for all of our friends, partners and communities and a better future for ourselves and our children."
Honorable Teresa Wat, British Columbia Minister of International Trade and Minister of Responsible for Asia Pacific Strategy and Multiculturalism and Consul Shanjun Yu from the Consulate General of China in Vancouver extended their greetings respectively and congratulated Beijing Aikang Group on the establishment of its North American headquarter in the beautiful Vancouver.
Honorable Teresa Wat also expressed in the press interview after the meeting that: British Columbia proactively introduced resources to train technology talents during in recent years the Vancouver's policies on medical technology just agreed with Beijing Aikang Group. In the course of Beijing Aikang Group providing support to B.C. medical technology, B.C. will also have more and more scientific talents who will introduce the research fruits to China and produce a win-win result.
To show the support to Canadian medical sector, Dr. Dong Wang, Chairman of Beijing Aikang Group donate to VGH and UBC Hospital Foundation on the meeting and the donation was accepted by Candice Tsang on behalf of the foundation.
