I hope both sides will work diligently to contribute to the theoretical development of nursing science with Chinese characteristics, carry forward the Chinese cultural heritage, and provide wisdom and strength for cultivating medical talent with both moral integrity and professional competence, while also promoting the health and well-being of the entire population."
