The battle against severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) helped the
Chinese pay more attention to social sustainable development, said Acting Mayor
of Beijing Wang Qishan here Thursday.
Wang spoke during a meeting with Ikuo Hirayama, president of the Japan-China
Friendship Association.
Chinese people have learnt about the balanced development of economy and
society, he said, putting emphasis on construction of social public health
systems.
Beijing people are now more concerned about urban garbage and waste water
disposal, he said.
Ikuo Hirayama extended congratulations on Beijing's resumption of normal
life. Countries should enhance exchanges to jointly deal with health and
environment issues, he said.
