Xi said in the letter that the new round of sci-tech revolution and industrial transformation has a profound impact on the evolution of human civilization and the development of the global governance system.

"Promoting sustainable development with sci-tech innovation has become the way that we must take to solve some important global issues of common concern," Xi said.
