A delegation from the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) visited Fiocruz between April 7 and 9 to take part in a seminar on microbial resistance with researchers from the Foundation. 

On April 7, the group visited the Fernandes Figueira National Institute for Women's, Children's and Adolescents' Health (IFF/Fiocruz). On April 8, the CAS researchers met with colleagues from the Foundation for a seminar on antimicrobial resistance at the Center for Strategic Studies (CEE/Fiocruz). This is the sixth time that a delegation from CAS has come to Fiocruz for these meetings, which are considered a key point in the cooperation between the institutions. 

On April 9, the deputy mayor of Beijing, Jin Wei, also visited Fiocruz. In a meeting, he, the coordinator of the Center for Technological Development in Health (CDTS/Fiocruz), Carlos Morel, and the deputy director-general of the Institute of Microbiology at CAS, Wang Qihui, signed an addendum to the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in April 2023.
