Chen Jining and Gong Zheng met with advanced groups and individuals from Morocco who are providing medical assistance.

Chen Jingning, the Secretary of the Shanghai Municipal Party Committee, and Gong Zheng, the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee and Mayor, met with representatives of the advanced group and individuals in the medical aid to Morocco this morning. On behalf of the Municipal Party Committee and the Municipal Government, Chen Jingning and Gong Zheng expressed their highest respect and sincere condolences to all comrades participating in the foreign aid medical work. Chen Jingning said that the Shanghai members of the Chinese medical team assisting Morocco have been away from their loved ones in their homeland, overcoming various difficulties to treat local patients with noble medical ethics and superb medical skills, earning praise, respect, and trust. This undertaking has been going on for 50 years, with one group after another taking over, which is very difficult and remarkable. We are proud of you. Through your efforts, you vividly demonstrate the spirit of the Chinese medical team of "fearless of hardships, willing to dedicate, saving the dying and helping the injured, and having boundless love", and highlight the spirit and character of Shanghai as a city, which the whole society should learn from. General Secretary Xi Jinping praised the foreign aid medical teams as "both white angels saving lives and friendly messengers conveying friendship". It is hoped that everyone will remember this guidance, vigorously promote the spirit of the Chinese medical team, tell the story of China and Shanghai with practical actions, and continuously create a new situation in foreign medical aid work. Relevant departments and units should care for and support foreign aid medical workers with heart and sincerity, creating better conditions for their work and life.
