The president also encouraged academicians to serve as pioneers at the forefront of science and technology, and to take on major tasks, help young people to explore their potential, and become role models for the scientific spirit.

The vision presented by Xi during the meeting also impressed international scientists who were invited to the event.

Abbas Firoozabadi, a distinguished research professor at Rice University in the United States, said the fact that President Xi himself conferred the nation's highest top science award was proof of the emphasis that China's leadership places on the development of science and technology.
