"Health is an important issue. And the development of a healthy ecosystem needs 
the help of people from around the world," said Zhang.

He stressed the importance of promoting healthy lifestyles by integrating 
global resources.

Yili has made continuous efforts to integrate resources for healthy food around 
the world. According to the company, it has established links with companies 
and research institutions in Asia, Europe, and Oceania.

During a discussion on how innovation promotes health, Zhang Jianqiu discussed 
Yilis's efforts to build a healthy global ecosystem.

He said that the dairy company now has more than 1,000 products and the sales
