According to the memorandum of cooperation, Zoomlion will leverage CIMMYT's research and demonstration platforms to optimize product performance and enhance product adaptability, while providing CIMMYT with more advanced, efficient and suitably adapted agricultural equipment support to help it further accelerate the transformation of scientific research results into productivity.

In his remarks, Ambassador Chen said that CIMMYT is a globally renowned "think tank" and "engine" in the agricultural sector, Hunan is a major agricultural and industrial province in China, and Zoomlion is a leader in China's equipment manufacturing industry. The cooperation between Zoomlion and CIMMYT is not only a strong alliance between a Chinese enterprise and an international organization, but also another brilliant leap in agricultural exchanges and cooperation between China and Mexico, which will contribute more "Chinese wisdom" and "Chinese strength" to global food security. The Chinese Embassy in Mexico will continue to provide full support for the cooperation between the two sides and help the project advance smoothly, take root and bear fruit.
