On the occasion of the New Year, on behalf of the China Association for Science and Technology, we would like to extend our sincere New Year greetings to the vast number of scientific and technological workers across the country!

In 2023, the vast majority of scientific and technological workers have devoted themselves to the practice of the strategy of rejuvenating the country through science and education, the strategy of strengthening the country through talents, and the strategy of innovation-driven development with a hundredfold passion for innovation, and have made a good start and made remarkable achievements in fully implementing the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China. We are facing the tide of a new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and we insist on facing the world's scientific and technological frontiers, the main battlefield of the economy, the major needs of the country, and the people's life and health. We will continue to advance in the breadth and depth of science and technology, and constantly open up new areas of scientific and technological innovation and new tracks for industrial development. Achievements in the fields of aerospace dreams, deep-sea exploration, and major national equipment are emerging one after another, and new industrial growth points such as artificial intelligence, life and health, clean energy, and advanced materials are constantly forming. The vast majority of scientific and technological workers are writing a magnificent chapter of a strong country in science and technology with their outstanding wisdom and hard work.

Over the past year, the majority of scientific and technological workers have always been united with the Party and have worked in the same direction. They have taken the continuous satisfaction of the people's needs for a better life as an important basis for scientific and technological innovation, and have fully demonstrated the spirit of scientists in the new era with a deep sense of patriotism in their hard work and struggle. While serving the country with new-quality productivity breakthroughs, the majority of scientific and technological workers have continued to cultivate a good style of study by passing on the torch of the scientist spirit, practicing the core socialist values ​​with outstanding innovative achievements, and leading social trends.

The unprecedented changes in the world economy have triggered profound changes in the world economic structure and a deep reconstruction of the global innovation landscape. The vast number of scientific and technological workers bear in mind General Secretary Xi Jinping's important instructions on adhering to the world and the future, bravely become pioneers of scientific and technological innovation and messengers of scientific and technological and cultural exchanges, integrate into the new wave of global development with a more open attitude, and continuously enhance openness, trust and cooperation with international peers on the world science and technology stage. The immortal mark of Chinese engineers has been engraved on the "Belt and Road" innovation and development blueprint. A number of international scientific and technological organizations have emerged, constantly weaving the nodes and connections between China and the global innovation network. Chinese scientific and technological workers have responded to the uncertainty of the century-old changes with the certainty of open innovation, and made new contributions to promoting the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

The most gratifying achievement in the past year is that, with the integrated deployment of education, science and technology, and talents, as well as the concerted support of the whole society, a large number of young talents have emerged at the forefront of scientific and technological progress, shouldered heavy responsibilities at the forefront of innovation and development, and provided an inexhaustible source of vitality for the construction of a strong country in science and technology. Science and technology associations at all levels have built higher-level academic exchange platforms and provided greater support to pave the way for young scientific and technological talents to display their talents, and the open, hub-type, and platform-type homes for scientific and technological workers have become warmer and more intimate.

The first ray of dawn of the new year is about to arrive as expected, and we are about to usher in 2024, which is more full of innovation and creativity. We look forward to the vast number of scientific and technological workers to gather the tremendous power to build a world science and technology power with more firm confidence, more full enthusiasm and more pragmatic style, aim at the world's scientific and technological frontiers to continue to explore breakthroughs, focus on new quality productivity and be a pioneer, continuously develop and prosper scientific culture, strive to improve the scientific quality of the whole people, and jointly write a new chapter of Chinese-style modernization with high-level scientific and technological self-reliance and self-improvement, and work tirelessly to realize the Chinese dream of the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation!
