Gao Anming, editor-in-chief of the China International Communications Group and director general of the CIIC, echoed the sentiment, remarking: "When digital technology meets women's creativity, it transcends geographical and gender boundaries. China's experiences in driving equity through innovation offer valuable lessons for the world".

"As a documenter and communicator of global development, the CICG tells the world how China is turning 'her power' into a core engine of rural vitalization through digital infrastructure, tech training, and policy innovation using over 30 languages and various AI technologies as part of its efforts to power international communications," he noted.

"We look forward to sharing ways the dividends of technology can assist with the overcoming of gender barriers and help transform rural women from 'subjects of development' into 'agents of development' with all nations," Gao added.

"Fenghuang places great importance on advancing women's development," stated Ou Wanhai, deputy head Fenghuang county, in his welcome speech. "As a county with a predominantly population of the Miao ethnic group, we have supported rural women in achieving entrepreneurship and employment in key sectors such as agriculture and cultural tourism through policy support, capacity building, and guidance pertaining to industry development.
