The seminar has received positive feedback from participants. At the ceremony, the Participant Representative, Mr. ESQUIVEL, the industrial engineer from Ministerio De Educacion Publica in Costa Rica, expressed that they have learned a lot, including the professional knowledge, the experience of China's national conditions, reform and opening up and economic development, as well as the Chinese leaders' managing concept and the "the belt and road initiative", and all of these will enhance the understanding of each country, help the participating members deepen the friendship through mutual learning and exchanges, and create a platform for international exchanges and cooperation among developing countries.
As the largest developing country in the world, China has always adhered to the concept of peaceful development and mutual benefit, upholding to the principle of "teaching people to fish" and cultivating various talents for developing countries. By sharing Chinese experience, Chinese wisdom, and Chinese solutions, China helps developing countries enhance their independent development capabilities, and promote common development and prosperity. Mr. Chen said: "Completion of this seminar does not mean the end, but a new start for China and participating developing countries to work together towards the future and seek better development". He hoped that all the participants could bring back what they saw, heard and thought in China to their own countries. They can serve their motherlands and people, while standing as witnesses, builders, and contributors to mutual friendship and practical cooperation.
