The seminar was held to commemorate the alliance’s fifth anniversary.
Representatives from Chinese institutions, including the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences and SCAU, reviewed the alliance’s achievements over the past five years and outlined future collaboration in scientific innovation, talent development, and platform building.
