On April 17, CSBT held the signing ceremony of partnership program on International Professional Information Exchange in Ningbo. ZHU Yongming, President of CSBT，and directors of blood centers from Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, as well as relevant staff from the CSBT Secretariat and other project participants, attended the meeting.

Since 2020, CSBT has signed the Memorandum of Partnership with Jiangsu Blood Center, Shanghai Blood Center and Guangzhou Blood Center respectively. With the efforts of the three blood centers, CSBT has successfully carried out a number of co-construction projects, thus greatly enriching the English official website and the latest reports of international organizations.

President ZHU finally put forward several requirements. Firstly, the number of manuscripts should be improved. Professionals and project participants should track  the development of the international professional fields out of habit, while blood centers need to set goals for them and encourage them to translate and contribute more manuscripts. Secondly, we should focus on the quality of manuscripts. The content should be able to provide effective information to promote the development of the industry. Finally, talent cultivation should be strengthened, and translation work is an effective way to achieve this. Enhance the linguistic and professional competence of translators in the hope that they will be able to deliver speeches at international conferences in the future. Meanwhile, the CSBT secretariat will organize work exchange meetings regularly, thus promoting the exchange of work experience and mutual learning.
