　　Up to the present, the cooperation between Taiwan and France has entered the 30th year since 1983. During the long-term partnership, researchers from both countries have maintained good interflows and made significant achievements that we treasure so much. Today we are delighted to hosting the bilateral symposium here, and to have so many participants from Taiwan and France to discuss and share experiences on current research and practice in minipigs for biomedical utilization.
