As pointed by President Li Lu at the conference, the aging population in China has entered into a rapid development stage, and it is the common concern for Chinese governments and the public to cultivate talents of medical treatment and care with good quality, reasonable structure and sufficient quantity. As a country that was relatively early to enter into the aging society all over the whole world, Japan has equivalent successful cases and mature mechanisms on aspects of endowment policies, endowment service standard, endowment talent cultivation and endowment operation mode, which can be taken as references for our country. The exchange and discussion with Chinese and Japanese experts in fields of medical treatment and care education as well as health care field will make our university have new ideas, new paths and new breakthroughs in fields of medical treatment and care talent cultivation, industry policy research as well as leading technologies and products research and development, so as to promote joint development between China and Japan in medical treatment and care industries, to benefit mankind.

As pointed by Jin Guoqing, the director general of the Bureau of Shizuoka Fukui Affairs of the General Office of Zhejiang Provincial Government, in his speech, Japan achieves mature development in endowment services, with abundant experience and technologies in endowment services and nursing as well as complete systems and mechanisms in related talent cultivation. Zhejiang Province is gradually entering into an aging society, and it is more and more important to formulate policies and measures related to aging based on endowment and nursing and to cultivate talents of endowment and nursing. Both China and Japan have huge potential in endowment and nursing talent cultivation. As a specialized university that was early to develop specialized construction and talent cultivation in fields such as housekeeping, nursing and endowment in Zhejiang, Zhejiang Shuren University wishes that the specialized talents in China and Japan attending the conference can conduct in-depth discussion around the theme of China and Japan medical treatment and care talents cultivation, to plan for cooperation between both parties.

It is the hot topic to cultivate medical treatment and care talents with high quality, reasonable structure and sufficient quantity, so as to cope with population aging in China and all over the whole world, which is the target for colleges, universities, scientific research institutions, enterprises and nursing institutions for Asian countries.
