We have realized during long-term education that foreign language and translation are totally different majors, featuring totally different teaching models and learning skills. The UN and the foreign ministry have different requirements for translators. Thus, we should guide our students to establish a career development direction as early as possible. I think the forum has significant value for translator cultivation and translation industry development. For translation institutions, a priority is to improve translators' quality. I'd like to cooperate with my Chinese peers in that particular cause.

The cultivation of translation talents and improvement of translation quality are significant factors for the success of the "Belt and Road" Initiative, as well as powerful guarantee for internationalization and going-out for Chinese enterprises.
