China was the only country invited by UN Women to give a keynote speech at the meeting. The address was made by Huang Xiaowei, Vice Chairperson of the National Working Committee on Children and Women under the State Council and Vice President and First Member of the Secretariat of the All-China Women's Federation (ACWF), who introduced China's practices and experiences in coordinating COVID-19 prevention and control as well as economic and social development under the leadership of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core.
Huang said in the face of the unexpected COVID-19 pandemic, the CPC and the Chinese government has put people's lives and health first. CPC General Secretary and Chinese President Xi Jinping has taken charge and planned the response in person, and the whole country was mobilized to fight against the pandemic. Significant strategic achievements in the epidemic prevention and control have been made while the economy has been reported stable with signs of improvements in China.

Ngcuka thanked the Chinese government for its strong support for UN Women, and the ACWF for sharing China's valuable experiences in COVID-19 prevention and control and economic recovery. She stressed that the women's contributions and leadership in responding to the pandemic and recovering economy should be fully valued by society.
While the pandemic poses a huge challenge to the advancement of global gender equality and women's development, it also creates opportunities. In the post-pandemic era, countries should strengthen exchanges and cooperation, and work together to build a better world, Ngcuka added.
Representatives spoke highly of China's successful measures in the fight against the pandemic and in boosting socio-economic development, as well as the importance it attaches to women and children. They appreciated the efforts made by Chinese women and women's federations, and expressed their gratitude to the Chinese government for its material assistance and support in fighting the pandemic around the world.
