BEIJING, May 13 -- The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) is working and will work more closely with China on population and development issues, according to an official with UNFPA.
Bjorn Andersson, head of the fund's operations in Asia and the Pacific, made the remarks in an interview Friday during his three-day visit to Beijing, in the middle of the UNFPA's Eighth Country Programme (2016-2020) for China.
The programme focuses on key areas, including sexual and reproductive health, adolescents and youth, gender equality and women's empowerment, and population dynamics in China.
Andersson hailed China's contribution to international cooperation, and the progress the country has made over the years in its population and development work.
"China's experience in developing its mega-cities is something important to be shared with other member states of the UN, especially in improving the public transportation system and management of pollution," he told Xinhua.
He also spoke highly of China's efforts in promoting sexual and reproductive health, with measures such as integrating content like life skills and self-protection into education.
As next year will mark 40 years of collaboration between UNFPA and China, it reflects that there has been a mutual interest between both sides, and maintaining the relationship is important for UNFPA, according to Andersson, who took up his position last September.
