CIDCA chairman meets with IOM director general

Luo Zhaohui, chairman of the China International Development Cooperation Agency (CIDCA), met with visiting Director General of the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Antonio Vitorino on April 4, 2023.

Luo welcomed Vitorino on his visit to China and lauded the IOM's contributions in promoting international development cooperation in the field of migration. He acknowledged the progress of bilateral cooperation under the framework of the Global Development and South-South Cooperation Fund (GDSSCF), and expressed anticipation for more pragmatic cooperation with the IOM under the framework of the Global Development Initiative to jointly promote the United Nations' 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

Vitorino said that the bilateral cooperation under the GDSSCF framework was a typical example of South-South cooperation and trilateral cooperation. The IOM is ready to sign a memorandum of understanding with the CIDCA on strengthening bilateral cooperation with China, fully tap its advantages in migration, and jointly contribute to the realization of the UN's 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, he said.
