SEATTLE, United States - Chinese First Lady Peng Liyuan on Wednesday visited a leading US cancer research institution here and called for closer bilateral cooperation in health care.
Upon arrival at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, she was greeted by Dr. Gary Gilliland, president and director of the organization; Bill and Melinda Gates, co-chairs and trustees of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation; and Melodee Hanes Baucus, wife of US Ambassador to China Max Baucus, among others.
Noting that since its official inauguration in 1975, Fred Hutch, as the center is popularly known, has committed itself to cutting-edge research on cancer and deadly infections like AIDS, Peng said its contributions have helped many people get a chance "to live longer and better lives."
