Francis Snyder, a law professor at Peking University's School of Transnational Law, has urged China to create a national and unified food safety authority to better deal with its food safety issues. He also suggested approaches to boost the enforcement of regulations and improve public education about food safety.

Snyder, who also attended the meeting on Thursday, said he found it very useful to cooperate with Chinese experts during the final stage of the process. The administration invited Chinese experts to evaluate the foreign experts' recommendations before they were submitted to the State Council.

Wei Jianing, deputy director of the department of macroeconomic research of the Development Research Center of the State Council, said that Chinese research institutions are enthusiastic about strengthening cooperation with foreign experts to contribute to the government's decision-making process.

"China needs to learn from overseas experiences as it is trying to solve its own problems in development," he said.

"Foreign experts can help Chinese research institutions have a more comprehensive and precise understanding of the overseas situation in a short time."

Zhang said, "This project helps establish a closer relationship between foreign experts and the Chinese government," adding that it also enables foreign experts to learn more about China, initiate comparative studies programs between China and the outside world, make suggestions on China's issues, and increase their friendship with the Chinese people.

Zhang said his administration will set up different working groups later this year to allow foreign experts from relevant fields of expertise to work together and produce more professional proposals.
