Invitation to
the 11th Shanghai International Forum on Children
January 16th, 2017
Respectable madam/sir,
Children, who represent hope and future for each family are closely related to national prosperity and development. Building up a comprehensive children’s welfare system and providing children with more attention and support from government, society and family for children’s sound growth and development are of vital importance in implementing thepriority principleof children and building a child-friendly city. Recent years have witnessed development of China’s overall national strength, improvement of social safety net, increasing national investment in children’s education and health and more care to the children in difficulty in terms of medical care and basic life. However, there is still room for improvement on children’s welfare policies and social supporting system in China due to restrictions caused by traditional concepts, economic factors and social transformation.
With the purpose of facilitating social welfare system, enhancing transformation to an “appropriate universal social welfare”and creating atmosphere conductive to children’s sound growth and harmonious family development, the 11th Shanghai International forum on children, which will take place on September 15th, 2017 will be focusing on the theme of children’s welfare and family development as well as discussing responsibilities of government authorities, society and family in children’s growth and providing an opportunity of equal dialogue of improving children’s welfare system and promoting family development.
We are looking forward to your participation, sharing study accomplishments and listening to in-depth perspectives. By making concerted efforts, we would like to make contribution to enhancing children’s sound growth and creating a more harmonious and pleasant social environment.
